Responsibility for the day to day operation of the facility. The facility runs 24/7 and produces a product via means of continues manufacturing process. I lead the plant by interfacing with the operations staff and making sure any barriers that they have were removed in a timely and efficient manner. I communicated the status of the plant via plant metrics in a monthly meeting and weekly meetings (weekly meetings are driven by supervisors at shift changes). It is my belief that if people do not know the things they are doing right they are likely to not continue those actions, as well as if something is going wrong and it is not clearly communicated they will not know to fix it. Communication is key to shaping an organization; It is my responsibility to balance the communication of areas that need improvement while at the same time promoting an environment of winning thought acknowledgment of successes.
