Operations supervision: shift leadership, handover and daily control
Operations supervision: shift leadership, handover and daily control
A practical course for shift leaders and team supervisors in production, maintenance and facilities: their place in manufacturing operations management, a reliable shift handover, daily visual control with meaningful indicators, how to respond to abnormalities, and how to lead people and safe work on the shift. Five modules, each with a worked example, and a 10-question final quiz. Based on cited official standards and guidance. Not an accredited qualification.
