Assembly Throughput Operations Supervisor

A day in the life

You start your morning at the board reviewing open MOs, SFM (MES) transactions, and overnight variances in the ERP. You walk the floor, confirm kits staged at transfer zones, and clear bottlenecks so components glide from CNC and CMM into Assembly. Shipping and Receiving checks in with you about barcode printers and labels, while Engineering, Quality, and Planning sync on priorities. By midday, you’ve reconciled SFM and ERP quantities and locations, updated the production schedule for full component visibility, and expedited a critical build to Shipping. You close the day tightening WIP controls, drafting cycle count and progress reports, and lining up materials and storage for tomorrow’s finished goods.
