Back when I served as a production supervisor, a key responsibility of mine was drafting operator line-ups for the second and third shifts, as well as weekends. My primary objective was to create a standardized format rich in detail, aiming to preempt those dreaded 3 a.m. pager calls for mundane inquiries. Equally important was empowering operators with the necessary information to navigate potential challenges during off-shifts, all while maintaining my own sanity. Rather than reacting harshly to routine errors made by off-shift operators, I adopted a proactive approach. Upon encountering such situations, I conducted thorough reviews of the issue and decision-making process. Subsequently, I worked collaboratively with the team to highlight opportunities for improvement, fostering a culture of continuous learning and development. Fast forward to today, technological advancements have revolutionized our ability to deliver work instructions electronically. Operators now have instant access to clear instructions upon logging into the system, including details on production targets, destination, end customers, and a summary of any alerts or issues from the preceding shift. Reflecting on the progress made, it's gratifying to see how far we've come. Thankfully, pagers, once an integral part of our communication system, are now relegated to the annals of history, symbolizing the evolution and improvement of our operational practices.

What's the first line of defense in plant operations? A good production operator. A good operator is usually the first one to see that a unit is not working right. They have a keen eye for detail and a deep understanding of how their equipment should operate. Here's what sets them apart: ✅ Vigilance: They are always on the lookout for signs of trouble. ✅ Proactivity: At the first sign of trouble, they spring into action. ✅ Responsibility: They either fix the issue themselves or call the maintenance crew. ✅ Cost-Awareness: They understand that early intervention can avoid a costly repair job later. Remember, in plant operations, early detection of problems is crucial. It can mean the difference between a minor adjustment and a major repair job. 🔧 Never underestimate the value of a vigilant operator. 📌 And if you're looking for more insights into the world of plant operations, 📤 Follow me for more posts like this.

Not having the right parts during Field Operations has a large impact on First-Time Fix Rate. And if parts procurement is left to the technician, it eats up their valuable time. Plus, nobody likes doing admin stuff. How do you prevent this from happening to your company? It might be best to have a dedicated Parts Procurement and Research team. Listen to this short to see how else you could benefit from this!

Silence.....and no acknowledgement. Not a good indication. Actually a far worse indicator than a rebuttal. What was said? "I know it expensive but what your asking is contrary to safety requirements; not a good way to save money." The new guy (Production Manager, Maintenance Manager, Engineer) lists his top 5 major issues (he's got 10 total), only to be deflected. How do you overcome it?

President for Manufacturing & Operations Recruiting @ American Recruiters || Former Plant + Operations Manager
Bump Drafting on a Cloudy Day: Lessons in Leadership and Responsibility Five months into my role as a 1st shift supervisor at AK Steel, I encountered a situation that would define many of my future leadership values. It was a seemingly ordinary day, with overcast skies when an offhand comment on our two-way radio – "We're bump drafting today, boys" – turned my world upside down. Observing from a distance, I watched two locomotives work in tandem, one pushing and the other pulling a heavy train. It seemed like good teamwork at the time. I returned to my paperwork, knowing that the operators had stored the coal hoppers on the correct track. A call 30 minutes later revealed a different reality. Two switch engines had collided. After storing the coal hoppers on a track. The 2 engines were traveling on the same track. One engine stopped abruptly due to a GPS failure, causing the second to collide into it. Trains can't stop on a dime. Luckily, no one was hurt, but my nerves were shaken. This was uncharted territory for me. Upon investigation, it appeared a GPS unit failure on one locomotive was to blame. However, when the radio conversation from earlier was reviewed, it painted an entirely different picture, casting doubt on the operators' actions and intentions. What followed were anxious meetings, suspended employees, and the looming shadow of responsibility. As a young 23-year-old leader, it was a hard pill to swallow that the responsibility lay with me. It was only after thorough analysis that the faulty GPS unit was identified as the real culprit, and our employees returned to work. Key Takeaways: Always Be Professional: Keep work-related communications strictly business. Set the standard and ensure your team follows. Trust Your Instincts: I had a gut feeling that something was amiss but ignored it. Always prioritize instinctive red flags. Ownership: It's easy to point fingers, but real leadership involves taking responsibility for both successes and failures. Leadership isn't just about guiding teams during the good times but standing firm during challenges. Every incident, good or bad, is an opportunity to learn and grow. #beBetter #JobSquad #ManufacturingJobs #OperationsJobs #PlantManagementJobs
