Production Supervisor Role
Production supervisors are line or operations managers, meaning they
frequently have a hands-on leadership role in their companies' product-

making activities. Broadly, production supervisors come under industrial


production manager occupational categories. Production supervisors are most
commonly seen in companies such as automakers, commercial bakeries and
any company turning out mass-produced goods on schedule. Manufacturing
company employees frequently turn to their production supervisors for
direction and answers to their questions about their assigned duties.
Production Supervisor Duties
Depending on the particular company, a production supervisor may plan,
direct or coordinate work activities and obtain resources necessary for
production success. In other words, production supervisors must be able to
ensure their assigned assembly functions deliver products that meet all
company cost, quality and quantity requirements. As a production supervisor,
you review processing schedules and production orders and make decisions
regarding resources needed to meet those schedules or orders. Production
supervisors are also responsible for meeting company budget goals.
Human Resources Management
Because they're line managers, production supervisors work closely and as a
team with the rank-and-file employees assigned to them. Some production
supervisors are even responsible for hiring, training, evaluating and
terminating employees. A production supervisor must be especially skilled at
resolving day to day personnel grievances that can arise among the
employees from time to time. If you're a production supervisor you must be
able to correctly staff your production areas and keep the employees in those
areas working efficiently.
