A trained team will have the opportunity to achieve operational excellence 👍🏼

Working as a supervisor has brought me countless memories. My role requires working with many people, from my direct boss, the production manager, to the engineering manager, who advises me on how to communicate with my operators about maintenance, and the quality department, which focuses more on the quality of packaged products than the quantity – a key priority for production. Reflecting on the past week, I feel incredibly grateful for all my operators and support staff. The week started like any other, with a clear daily target in mind that allowed me to anticipate the weekly goals. Before we even began packaging operations, our pep talk set a positive tone and had a noticeable impact on team morale. The team operated in unity, and the results throughout the week were fantastic. You might ask, how did we achieve this? First, I minimized downtime as much as possible through proactive measures. For example, I ensured that we always had enough packaging materials on hand throughout my shift, eliminating unnecessary delays. Additionally, I saw minor stoppages as opportunities in disguise. During these times, I diverted products onto a table near the conveyor, preventing unnecessary line interruptions. Waste reduction was also a key focus. Excessive waste can hinder a supervisor’s ability to meet targets, so we prioritized minimizing it wherever possible. Finally, I can’t overstate the value of each operator’s contribution. Their efforts to keep the machines running smoothly and their dedication to doing all they could to ensure our success as a team were essential to our achievements. Together, we ensured that we didn’t just meet our goals but exceeded them. #production #engineering #FMCG #quality #packaging #agroallied #agriculture #

Production Manager Excuse #15: "We couldn't do the job because the safety department was monitoring the production team." Let's make one thing clear: safety always comes first. The goal is for everyone to go home safely to their family daily because no task is more important than your health and well-being. If the safety department is involved, it’s not to hold up production but to ensure everyone works in a safe environment. Accidents or injuries cost far more than time—they risk lives. If you’re willing to put your life on the line to get a job done, the company pays you too much. The actual value lies in getting the job done right and safely. Safety and productivity go hand in hand, and with the right processes, we can achieve both. Remember, getting home safely is what truly matters—no deadline or job is worth risking.
