As a production manager, you'll be involved with the planning, coordination and control of manufacturing processes. You'll make sure goods and services are produced efficiently and that the correct amount is produced at the right cost and level of quality.

The scope of the job depends on the nature of the production system. Many companies are involved in several types of production, adding to the complexity of the role. It's likely that you will be responsible for both human and material resources.

Hello, and dear all

I would like to share my point view. If we need to talk about the daily tasks, I would say the production manager should be aware of some important tasks but are not limited. I would go to list them below 

First of all, he or she should understand the general plan that the company has put to achieve the goals. then he or she should follow 

1/ reviews the data reports of the previous day, might there was pending work need to be completed 

2/ update the project plan for the work, might there is some needs to increase or decrease in the production 

3/ monitoring and controlling the work process 

4/ solves the production issues 

5/ understanding the financial factors that impact the production like increase or decrease the laborers, training the laborers, adding automation system if needed.

6/ sends the daily report

The greatest responsibility of the production manager is to organize, motivate, direct and animate producers

The responsibilities of the production manager concern five subjects (the five M): Labor, Machinery, Methods, Materials and Financial Resources.

The production manager must also choose the machines and methods, plan and then control the methods and procedures for their use.

  2. Control raw materials and spare parts
  3. Note stock levels
  4. Measure costs
