Pottery Factory Production Manager

Key Responsibilities

1. Production & Workflow Operations

Daily Management: Oversee the day-to-day operations of 20–30 artisans, machine operators, and kiln technicians.

Hybrid Workflow Optimization: Seamlessly balance and schedule production lines for both hand-thrown/hand-sculpted pieces and machine-pressed/jiggered items.

Kiln Management: Directly supervise the preparation, loading, firing schedules, and maintenance of gas shuttle kilns to ensure optimal temperature curves and minimal defects.

Inventory & Stock Control: Monitor raw material levels (clay, glazes) and efficiently manage the production of standard stock lines alongside bespoke projects.

2. Project Management & Client Fulfilment

Custom Order Execution: Act as the lead project manager for international restaurant accounts, tracking custom orders from initial prototype development through to final export.

Timeline Accountability: Establish clear production milestones to ensure all international shipping dates and client deadlines are met consistently.

Resource Allocation: Dynamically allocate labor and equipment between high-priority custom orders and standard inventory replenishment.

3. Quality Assurance (QA) & Process Control

End-to-End Quality Inspection: Implement and enforce rigorous quality standards at every stage—clay preparation, greenware shaping, biscuit firing, glazing, and final glost firing.

Defect Reduction: Identify root causes of firing cracks, glaze defects, or warping, and quickly adjust clay bodies, glaze recipes, or kiln cycles to fix them.

Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs): Maintain clear documentation for glaze mixing, firing logs, and machine operation to preserve consistency across batches.
