Position Summary

The Production Manager is responsible for the management, and oversight of all production operations within the molding facility (including clean-room production). This role will ensure that production meets cost, quality, delivery, and safety targets. The ideal candidate will have strong experience in plastic injection-molding of small components including medical parts and familiarity with clean-room protocols and GMP/ISO quality systems.

Lead, manage and direct all production activities for injection-molding operations (including setup, run-time, shutdown, and preventative maintenance) to meet production schedules and customer demand.
Ensure operations comply with all relevant regulations, quality standards (such as ISO 13485/ISO 9001), medical device production standards, and clean-room protocols (e.g., ISO 7/8, GMP) as applicable.
Monitor key production metrics (e.g., throughput, yield, scrap rate, OTD, downtime) and drive continuous improvement to increase efficiency, reduce waste, and minimize cost.
Develop and implement production plans, resource allocation (machinery, tooling, labor), scheduling, and staffing to optimize output while maintaining flexibility for change-overs and new product introductions.
Work closely with maintenance, tooling, engineering and quality teams to troubleshoot process issues (molding defects, machine performance, change-over delays), implement corrective action (root-cause analysis, CAPA) and sustain improvements.
Oversee and enforce strict clean-room operational discipline: gowning, contamination control, cleaning schedules, material flow, equipment calibration/verifications.
Manage and develop production supervisors and teams across shifts: hiring, training, performance management, succession planning, and fostering a culture of safety, quality and accountability.
Champion Lean/continuous improvement methodologies (Kaizen events, 5S, TPM, Six Sigma) to elevate process maturity and manufacturing excellence.
Prepare and manage departmental budgets, forecasts, production cost controls, tooling and MRO inventory. Report production status, KPI performance and improvement initiatives to senior leadership.
Ensure safety of workforce, compliance with OSHA or relevant workplace safety standards, and maintenance of a safe and ergonomic work environment.
Lead new product introduction (NPI) and qualification efforts for tooling, molds and equipment (IQ/OQ/PQ) in collaboration with engineering and quality teams when applicable.
Serve as the production representative in cross-functional teams (engineering, quality, supply chain) and support customer audits/visits related to the manufacturing process and clean-room operations.
