Lead Production Teams with Confidence

When production managers lack the right training, the impact is immediate: operations slow down, quality drops, and safety standards slip. Instead of driving progress, leaders are stuck reacting to problems costing your organization valuable time, resources, and trust.

CMOE’s Production Manager Training develops leaders who drive operational excellence, achieve production goals, and lead teams and processes that thrive even under pressure.

How Unprepared Managers Create Disruptions

Overseeing the production process from input to output is complex. Production managers constantly juggle deadlines, quality standards, and safety protocols. Yet, up to 82% of managers lack the necessary training for their roles, creating high-pressure environments that stressful environment for managers and their teams.

Without proper development, managers struggle to maintain control, causing inefficiencies that ripple through the entire operation. Common consequences include:

  • Missed deadlines that impact customer satisfaction.
  • Inefficient processes and workflows that increase costs and slow output.
  • Low workforce morale and disengagement on the production floor.
  • Erosion of safety culture leading to preventable hazards.

Production Manager Training Course Objectives

The goals and metrics that matter to your organization are unique, so CMOE facilitators consider them carefully before building a production manager training program around these three pillars:

1. Production Process

This first part explores various strategies your business can use to elevate its production process. It examines goals on a team and organizational level and identifies tactics to fulfill those objectives.

Production metrics ensure your upcoming leaders are targeted to meet production goals and make data-driven decisions. Valuable KPIs include but are not limited to:

  • Total cycle time: Total cycle time ensures the production completes orders on time and allows you to gain perspective on the efficiency of the process.
  • Customer satisfaction / CSAT: This is how satisfied customers/clients are with the product. CSAT can serve as a springboard to identifying where product or customer service areas need improvement.
  • Capacity use: Assessing this metric helps ensure machinery runs at 100% capacity. In addition, it can be used as a reference point on whether to scale production.

2. Team Management

Production team leader training is an essential part of the training curriculum. Leaders learn managerial skills to help team members find purpose and consistently achieve team objectives.

Production team metrics that matter may include:

  • Quality: How consistent is the quality of work produced across team members? This allows leaders to identify individual and team strengths and weaknesses.
  • Productivity: Signifying an employee’s output in a given period of time, productivity allows you to measure the percentage of tasks completed on time versus tasks finished past the deadline.
  • Goals achieved: What percentage of goals did a team member achieve? What percentage of goals did they not achieve? Examining these values can initiate necessary discussions to find practical solutions to team performance.

3. Health and Safety

Manufacturing accounts for 15% of nonfatal injuries and illnesses in the private industry. The health and safety portion of the training aims to keep your workforce members safe by establishing and reinforcing specific workplace practices.

Production safety data points you track likely include:

  • Injury frequency rates: These rates help you assess whether your health and safety initiatives are effective and find areas that need to be fine-tuned.
  • Average time to resolve incidents: This helps quantify and expedite the process to prioritize workforce health and safety.
  • Incident type: Understanding the frequency and severity of the specific types of incidents (illness, first aid, injury, etc.) enables you to formulate customizable health and safety protocols.
