Chief.
Calm. Sees the whole floor.
Steady. Reads schedules and bottlenecks like sheet music.
Knows what is on every machine, when slots open, when overtime kicks in.
What Chief does.
- Live machine-by-machine schedule view
- Honest lead times generated from actual capacity
- Flags overtime, swing-shift triggers before they hit the P&L
- Feeds Foreman the schedule signal for each new quote
