00:00:01.466 --> 00:00:03.432
Whether their product is a golf club,

2
00:00:03.433 --> 00:00:05.533
a car, or a frozen dinner,

3
00:00:05.533 --> 00:00:07.199
industrial production managers

4
00:00:07.200 --> 00:00:09.200
ensure that production operations

5
00:00:09.200 --> 00:00:11.700
meet quality and safety standards,

6
00:00:11.700 --> 00:00:13.333
comply with regulations,

7
00:00:13.333 --> 00:00:15.066
and stay on schedule.

8
00:00:15.066 --> 00:00:16.532
Industrial production managers

9
00:00:16.533 --> 00:00:17.899
also plan how to make

10
00:00:17.900 --> 00:00:20.000
the best use of equipment and workers

11
00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:21.466
to meet their goals,

12
00:00:21.466 --> 00:00:23.799
all while keeping costs within budget.

13
00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:26.266
They may oversee quality control programs

14
00:00:26.266 --> 00:00:28.432
to find any defects in the product

15
00:00:28.433 --> 00:00:30.566
and correct the problem causing it.

16
00:00:30.566 --> 00:00:32.099
When issues are identified,

17
00:00:32.100 --> 00:00:33.833
these managers need to communicate

18
00:00:33.833 --> 00:00:35.633
with all of the affected departments,

19
00:00:35.633 --> 00:00:37.733
vendors, and contractors.

20
00:00:37.733 --> 00:00:39.299
Industrial production managers

21
00:00:39.300 --> 00:00:41.666
work in all types of manufacturing plants

22
00:00:41.666 --> 00:00:44.399
both in the office and in production areas

23
00:00:44.400 --> 00:00:46.600
where they may wear protective gear.

24
00:00:46.600 --> 00:00:49.266
Those who specialize in quality control systems

25
00:00:49.266 --> 00:00:51.966
generally work in laboratories and factories,

26
00:00:51.966 --> 00:00:54.466
but may also find roles in healthcare.

27
00:00:54.466 --> 00:00:56.366
Most industrial production managers

28
00:00:56.366 --> 00:00:59.299
work full time, and overtime is common.

29
00:00:59.300 --> 00:01:01.900
Night or weekend shifts are not unusual,

30
00:01:01.900 --> 00:01:03.500
and managers may sometimes

31
00:01:03.500 --> 00:01:06.233
need to be on call to deal with emergencies.

32
00:01:06.233 --> 00:01:08.266
Industrial production managers

33
00:01:08.266 --> 00:01:10.199
typically need a bachelor’s degree

34
00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:13.066
and several years of related work experience.

35
00:01:13.066 --> 00:01:15.499
Many managers start as production workers,

36
00:01:15.500 --> 00:01:16.933
and move up to this position

37
00:01:16.933 --> 00:01:18.366
by gaining experience

38
00:01:18.366 --> 00:01:20.199
and furthering their education.

39
00:01:20.200 --> 00:01:21.700
At large plants,

40
00:01:21.700 --> 00:01:23.466
employers may prefer candidates

41
00:01:23.466 --> 00:01:25.366
with a graduate degree in business

42
00:01:25.366 --> 00:01:27.466
or industrial management.
