Position Overview
This Production Supervisor – Chocolate role is about running a chocolate line well and improving it every week. You will oversee day-to-day manufacturing, keep production schedules on track, and make sure targets are hit consistently. You will bring in improvements through Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma, and TPM, and you will watch the numbers that matter: Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), Material Usage Variance (MUV), production yield, and manufacturing cost. When you spot inefficiency, you work to cut material losses and waste and keep continuous improvement moving. Quality is non-negotiable — you hold the line on quality standards, food safety regulations, GMP, 5S, and HSE — and you work closely with Quality Assurance, R&D, Maintenance, and other departments. You will lead, supervise, and develop your team, building accountability and steady performance. The poster also adds that 4+ years of food and beverage manufacturing experience is expected.
Why This Role Matters: In chocolate manufacturing, small gains in yield and equipment effectiveness add up to real savings. As Production Supervisor, your daily decisions and improvement projects protect quality while improving cost.
