  Finishing Manager

  In December 2005 the Finishing Manager was made redundant along with 19 other members of staff including other managers.My role then changed from being a Finishing supervisor to also include being fully responsible for the Finishing Department which also included Logistics and Mailing Department reporting directly to the Operations Director.The total number of staff that I was initially responsible for was 32 which included a Transport Manager, Direct Mail Manager, various other Supervisors, together with managing a team of temporary staff. I was given the task of planning and implementing a continental shift system. This involved recruiting extra staff to a level of between 50-60 at any time.Reason for Leaving: In January 2007 the Company was bought by Media Print Investments and they then re-located the Company to Frome, Somerset into the premises of one of their other acquisitions. Although I was offered a position to move with the company, I decided to take redundancy as I was not in a position financially at that time to enable me to re-locate my home again so soon after moving from Bournemouth to Bridport.Duties:* Manage personnel to optimise the production output from all production lines* Responsible for overall control of Logistics* Point of contact for site security* Boost staff morale following redundancies and pull the team together* Training personnel as required* Completing Appraisals for 50-60 members of staff.* Implement disciplinary action as required* Responsible for maintaining/ordering parts for machinery* Stock control for all consumable materials in my department.* Fault finding on all machines.* Liaise with Production Planning to plan/attain optimum output.* Ensure all employees adhere to Company Health & Safety Procedures* Inspect products for quality and ensure quality maintained.* Liaise with customers Show less
