Manufacturing Cell Team Lead -- Production Operations

Alliance Laundry Systems
Ripon, WI Other
POSTED ON 9/10/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 10/10/2026
Step into a day leading a high-performing manufacturing cell

You arrive ready to guide a crew of 8–12 skilled teammates. Before the line starts, you run a quick stand-up: safety reminders, quality checkpoints, production targets, and HR updates. PPE is in place, the hour-by-hour board is set, and you’ve queued transactions in SAP to keep material and workflow moving. As the shift unfolds, you coach new hires, audit Standard Work, track KPIs, and walk the area for 5S and DuPont STOP observations. When a systemic issue appears, you escalate to the Group Leader (Supervisor) and partner on root cause. At shift handoff, you brief the next Team Lead so performance and communication never skip a beat.

What you’ll lead and deliver
  • Onboard, coach, and upskill new and existing team members within your area
  • Facilitate daily pre-shift huddles focused on safety, quality, and production priorities
  • Champion safe work practices and ensure proper PPE is used and available
  • Foster continuous improvement; surface ideas and turn them into action
  • Escalate production and systemic issues promptly to the Group Leader
  • Maintain strong shift-to-shift communication with other Team Leads and Leaders
  • Update and manage KPIs, hour-by-hour boards, and work stacks
  • Create, maintain, and audit Team Member Standard Work
  • Complete 5S audits and DuPont STOP observations
  • Use SAP to support and streamline manufacturing processes
  • Take on additional responsibilities as needed
What you bring
  • Experience leading people (work or volunteer), with proven leadership capability
  • Understanding of manufacturing processes (preferred)
  • People-first, servant leadership mindset with strong communication skills
  • Problem-solving and troubleshooting aptitude
  • High school diploma or equivalent
