• Write, update and enforce SOPs so every process has a documented standard
• Lead continuous improvement (5S, Lean, root-cause analysis); systematise repetitive manual work
• Respond quickly and calmly to disruptions – breakdowns, staff shortages, supply delays, urgent orders – with practical, creative solutions

• Reporting
