The Benefits of a Production Manager

Friday, June 09, 2006
A few weeks ago, our company asked one of our outstanding Project Managers, Marty Sass, to become our full-time Production manager. Marty joined our company in 1986, and has played a huge part in the success of our company. Many of our customers love Marty and the way he paints and conducts himself. His skills in painting will now help him start his new role in our company. As a production manager for Chism Brothers Painting, his job is to schedule and oversee all the painting projects, interview and hire quality individuals for our team, and conduct safety and training meetings. The benefits of having a production manager are manifold. A good production manager will:

• Supply the customer with a scheduled date of when we will begin the project
• Keep the customer informed on the schedule
• Make sure the right team of professional painters are selected to do the project. For example, if you are wanting to have your kitchen cabinets painted with a specialty finish, our production manager will make sure the right Project Manager (foreman) and his team are selected to complete the work well. Some of our painters have their specialties in staining, refinishing, restoration work, exteriors, color matching, interiors or cabinet finishes.
• Make sure the job is running smoothly and will be completed on time.
• Be available to you, the customer, regarding any general questions about products to use on your home or concerns you may have before the project actually starts.

If you are a busy professional, homemaker, or simply do not have the time to manage your painting project, please consider discussing your next project with us. Make sure the company you hire has a management team that will help your project run the way you hoped it would.
