Production engineering manager responsibilities

As a production engineering manager, one is responsible for supporting quality groups during audits and developing quality standards for production. They also design and engineer new product development and improvements, while maximizing production output with limited production space. Additionally, these managers utilize mechanical drawings and ISO standards to ensure efficient operations and create processes for auditing BOMs in ERP systems. They also analyze preventative strategies to improve production engineering and conduct team training in TQM, SPC, and CPI. As Yi Yang PhD, Associate Professor at Pennsylvania State University - Abington, states, "Engineers who can bridge the gap between technical complexity and business strategy, driving innovation and growth in their organizations will be very valuable." This highlights the importance of management skills for production engineering managers in advancing their careers.

Here are examples of responsibilities from real production engineering manager resumes:

  • Establish KPI s per processes to assure the objectives accomplish.

  • Manage product allocation and inventory through MRP software and communicate technical specifications.

  • Manage state-of-the-art extrusion plant with single screw and twin screw technology and co-extrusion capability.

  • Manage workflow and oversee strict cleanroom operations, assuring compliance with FDA specifications including labeling and packaging traceability.

  • Manage QA for research orient development efforts and for high visibility, production focuse development efforts tie to revenue generation.

  • Prepare KPI reports and present at executive meetings.

  • Serve on Kaizen teams and new model design teams.

  • Design tooling and jigs for part creation and assembly.

  • Develop and design all programs, fixtures, tooling, and processes for CNC equipment.

  • Work as a remote regional manager for the Thailand production facilities, including SCM and MRP coordination.

  • Implement Kaizen training and process development in the Altoona facility on an automate packaging line for ignition wire sets.

  • Develop specifications, produce drawings, and place orders for tools, dies and jigs and fixtures for new product introduction.

  • Develop assembly procedures and product documentation consistent with FDA GMP guidelines.

  • Utilize mechanical drawings and ISO standards to ensure operations are running efficiently.

  • Supported/Maintain ISO, FDA, UL/CSA certification by preserving detailed/organize quality system.
