You schedule across work centers balancing delivery commitments, machine capacity, changeover times, raw material availability, and workforce. MES (Manufacturing Execution System) tracks real-time status; ERP (SAP, Oracle, Epicor) manages planning.
You monitor through SPC control charts, perform root cause analysis (fishbone, 5 Whys, FMEA), and implement CAPA. For regulated industries (IATF 16949, ISO 13485, GMP), documentation is extensive. DPMO and Cpk are key metrics.
You manage energy consumption (electricity, natural gas, steam, compressed air) across production operations, track greenhouse gas emissions for reporting (Scope 1, 2, and increasingly Scope 3), comply with EPA regulations, and pursue sustainability goals. Energy is often the 2nd or 3rd largest operating cost after labor and materials. You benchmark energy intensity (energy per unit of production), identify waste, and invest in efficiency improvements.
