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.
