Production Line Team Lead, Industrial Laundry Equipment

You start your shift on the production floor in Ripon, WI, gathering an 8–12 person crew for a focused huddle. You review safety, quality notes, HR updates, and the day’s production targets. You coach new hires, check that everyone has the right PPE, and set the tone for continuous improvement. As work begins, you monitor hour-by-hour boards, track KPIs for your area, and keep Standard Work current. When something stands in the way of flow, you troubleshoot, coach through conflict, and loop in your Group Leader to escalate systemic issues.

Throughout the day you collaborate with fellow Team Leads across shifts, conduct 5S audits, complete Dupont Stop Observations, and manage work stacks. You use SAP to support the build process and keep information moving. The pace is fast, the expectations are clear, and you’re surrounded by a team that wants you to succeed—exactly how Alliance Laundry Systems operates: with integrity, structure, and support.
