Production Supervisor - 2nd Shift

Production Supervisor

Crenlo is seeking a high-output Production Supervisor to drive daily production results and continuous improvement within our Manufacturing team. This role is responsible for owning line performance — safety, quality, delivery, efficiency, and material flow — and delivering results through disciplined execution, problem solving, and accountability.

The Production Supervisor is expected to:

• Run the floor, not observe it
• Identify problems early and solve them fast
• Drive both hourly teams and salaried support functions to deliver results
• Maintain control of materials, inventory accuracy, and system transactions

This is a hands-on leadership role for individuals who take ownership and operate with urgency.

Key responsibilities include:

• Safety:
  Enforce safety standards with zero tolerance for unsafe behavior
• Production Execution:
  Own daily schedule attainment with no surprises
• Labor Efficiency:
  Drive labor efficiency through proper staffing, line balance, and waste elimination
• Floor Leadership:
  Maintain a strong, visible presence on the production floor
• Problem Solving:
  Lead root cause analysis and implement permanent corrective actions
• Accountability:
  Hold team members accountable for performance, attendance, and quality
• Cross-Functional Execution:
  Drive urgency and follow-through from Engineering, Maintenance, Quality, and Materials
• Material Flow and Inventory Control:
  Own material flow and inventory accuracy with no production loss due to system or inventory errors
• Continuous Improvement:
  Implement measurable improvements to cost, quality, and throughput
• Workforce Development:
  Build and maintain a cross-trained team with no single points of failure
• Standards and Discipline:
  Enforce high expectations for housekeeping, organization, and discipline

What success looks like:

• Consistently meets or exceeds production targets
• Improves efficiency, throughput, and cost performance over time
• Maintains high inventory accuracy with no production disruptions tied to material issues
• Builds a team that performs with minimal supervision
• Eliminates recurring issues through root cause problem solving
• Creates a culture of accountability and urgency

Preferred qualifications:

• Lean manufacturing experience including Kaizen, standard work, and waste elimination
• Welding and fabrication experience
• Experience with production metrics such as efficiency, throughput, and scrap
• Experience with Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS) or similar ERP systems

Who you are (non-negotiables):

• Self-driven and does not wait to be told what to do
• Accountable and owns results, good or bad
• Direct and communicates clearly while setting expectations
• Resilient and performs under pressure
• Results-oriented and focused on outcomes, not activity

Who will struggle in this role:

• Avoids confrontation or accountability
• Relies on others to solve problems
• Hesitates to make decisions in real time
• Accepts missed targets as normal

What top performers do differently:

• Run the floor constantly, not from a desk
• Identify and act on issues before they impact production
• Push both hourly and salaried teams to deliver results
• Improve the process every week, not just maintain it
• Build teams that perform even when they are not present

Working conditions/other:

• Work Hours/Status:
• The 2nd shift includes Monday - Friday 3:00pm – 1:30am.
• Willingness to work every other Saturday during high-demand periods to support production requirements and meet customer commitments
