Establish business performance metrics (cycle time, WIP, productivity, on-time delivery) and contribute engineering and technology-oriented solutions to improve manufacturability, product, processes and quality. I am in charge of the production of the caskets. I have to make sure that all orders are met. This means that all orders have to be done, with excellent quality, and delivered in the allotted time that the funeral homes need their caskets. I am responsible for managing between 30-40 employees and putting them in different work areas, depending on the company's needs at the time. I am also in charge of logistics. I have to make sure that the caskets are delivered in a timely manner without affecting payroll (overtime for the truck drivers). I am also in charge of purchase. Every couple of weeks I have to do an inventory of all the materials that we have in stock. With these inventories I have to make purchases so that we never run out of raw materials. But I have to be careful not to buy too much so that we could run out of money and/or space to store those materials. But I also have to make sure not to buy to little as to run out of materials before my next purchase. Once the container arrives, I have to make sure that what I ordered was exactly what came in the container. I also have knowledge with payroll. If, for some reason, the accountant does not go to work on the day that we do payroll, then I have to do it so that the employees can still get payed like always. I also oversee that all vendors are paid accordingly.

What they like about J. R. Quality Metal Corp.:

A hiring company that offers alternative approaches to pay, performance bonuses, and/or equity in the firm is very attractive to you. You're generally less interested in working for an organization offering only traditional, salary-based compensation, one with limited opportunity to acquire equity in the firm, or one that does not actively promote skill development. In addition, you are more likely to choose a company that offers a variety of internal career options, with defined career paths. You view the learning of new skills and development of your expertise as key to your career advancement. These aspects of an organization may become even more important to you as you progress in your field, and are especially critical if you change career or occupation.
