  6. Team Leadership:
    Manage and provide leadership to a team of production planners, warehouse staff, and logistics personnel.
    Set clear performance objectives and provide regular feedback and coaching to team members.
    Foster a culture of collaboration, continuous improvement, and accountability within the team.
  7. Compliance and Quality Assurance:
    Ensure compliance with relevant regulations, standards, and quality management systems.
    Implement measures to maintain product quality, traceability, and safety standards in the production process.
    Coordinate with quality assurance teams to address any non-conformities and implement corrective actions as needed.
