Production Management

A long-established Yorkshire based printer is looking for a hands-on production manager. This behind-the-scenes role will be responsible for scheduling, estimating and production control rather than managing manufacturing on the shop floor.

This is a key role, taking responsibility for the organisation and administration of the work flow between departments.

Main Responsibilities
• Processing customer orders regarding the specification, production methods, artwork requirements, production scheduling and price for future work and work in progress
• Create detailed production information in the format, and to the requirements of the production department.
• Liaise with production staff throughout the entire process
• Liaise with Dispatch and supplier to ensure delivery and collections of work, to and from the supplier
• Obtain the delivery information and delivery instructions from the customer
• Liaise with Dispatch by providing a daily delivery requirement list for outwork and customer deliveries and through ongoing daily contact
• Organise the production of mock-ups and obtaining of samples as requested by the customer.

To be able to meet the requirements above, the candidate should have a good technical knowledge of print production processes. We are looking for an organised individual, able to quickly understand detailed instructions and communicate this information in a clear, concise and unambiguous way. They should be proactive and be prepared to challenge, in an appropriate way, information which does not appear to be meeting the customers’ requirements.
