Position Summary:

The Production Crew Lead is a working leader who provides daily direction, training, and support to employees in the assigned production area.

The Crew Lead coordinates work assignments, reinforces safety, quality, GMP, USDA, and SOP requirements, monitors production flow, and escalates issues as needed.

Key Responsibilities:

Work Flow and Area Leadership

Direct and coordinate daily work assignments for employees assigned to the production area, consistent with supervisor direction, the production schedule, staffing needs, and operational priorities.
Monitor the assigned area to ensure that employees are working safely, following standard work, meeting quality expectations, and maintaining required production flow.
Achieve production goals and promptly communicate production standards, downtime, staffing gaps, material needs, and work reassignments to the Production Supervisor.
Using production tools like Red Zone, verify completion and accuracy of production records, downtime information, quality checks, inspections, and other required documentation.
Audit work areas per SOP to ensure procedural compliance, product conformance to specifications, accurate documentation, and adherence to GMP, USDA, food safety, and company standards.

Set clear expectations at the start of the shift and throughout the day regarding safety, quality, productivity, sanitation, housekeeping, attendance at workstations, and compliance with standard work.
Provide new, temporary, and existing associates with on-the-job training for assigned tasks, including safety, quality, productivity, equipment expectations, documentation, and area-specific procedures.
Monitor employee performance in the area and address routine questions, issues, or coaching needs in the moment; escalate repeated performance concerns, policy concerns, or conduct issues to the Production Supervisor.
Reinforce company policies, GMPs, safety rules, PPE requirements, lockout/tagout, machine guarding, and other applicable OSHA or company safety requirements.
Participate in start-up huddle meetings and assist in communicating priorities, production changes, safety reminders, quality expectations, and problem-resolution activities.

Operational Problem Solving and Continuous Improvement

Identify and help resolve routine production, quality, material, staffing, and workflow issues within the assigned area; escalate issues outside the Crew Lead’s authority or technical capability.
Continually evaluate the work process for improvement opportunities and communicate practical recommendations to the Production Supervisor.
Utilize LEAN thinking in formal and informal settings, including participating in LEAN events, submitting suggestions, attending LEAN training, and improving work cells or areas of responsibility.
Assist with problem resolution activities, including basic troubleshooting, coordination with maintenance or quality as needed, and follow-up on corrective actions directed by the Production Supervisor.

Authority and Escalation

The Crew Lead may direct and assign work, provide on-the-job coaching and training, hold employees accountable to standard work, and recommend corrective action or process improvements to the Production Supervisor.
The Crew Lead does not independently issue formal discipline, approve or deny time off, make hiring, termination, compensation, or policy decisions, or make changes outside established procedures without supervisor approval.
