Lead the flow. Empower the floor.

Join Durex Industries as a Forming Operations Supervisor and guide the movement of materials, information, and assemblies across our shop floor. Your day centers on keeping production humming—aligning teams, reconciling parts, and ensuring every component gets where it needs to be, when it needs to be there.

A day in the life

You start by walking the floor, reviewing daily progress reports you’ve generated, and confirming that manufacturing orders have full component visibility. You coordinate with Foundry and Assembly on component flow, then huddle with Operations Supervisors and Team Leads to prioritize work and reconcile assemblies. Throughout the day you manage Shipping & Receiving activities, operate barcode/labeling equipment, and act as the Business Process Owner (BPO) for our barcode and labeling systems—troubleshooting issues and training teammates as needed.

As production advances, you validate manufacturing transactions in the MES/SFM and ERP, maintain MO documentation, and keep physical inventory accurate through cycle counts and the annual physical. You expedite critical assemblies, resolve MRBs and CARs, and partner with Purchasing to review materials and replenish stock via Kanban and safety stock strategies. You close the day by reconciling SFM and ERP quantities/locations and capturing follow-ups from department meetings.
