People say, "What’s there in production? Machines do the work."
Really? Come to the shopfloor. Let me show you what actually happens:
🔸 Operator absent. No backup.
🔸 Machine breaks down 1 hour before shift end.
🔸 QA holds the part for micro variation — dispatch blocked.
🔸 Planning calls every 30 minutes: “When will it dispatch?”
🔸 Tool life over, spare not available.
🔸 Material received, but wrong spec — full lot on hold.
Now imagine one person in the middle of all this:
📍 Managing the team
📍 Coordinating with QA, maintenance, and planning
📍 Handling pressure from seniors
📍 Solving real-time issues
📍 Motivating operators
📍 And still — expected to hit the target
That’s the Production Engineer / Shift Incharge.
Not just a role — it's a full-time mental game.
No breaks. No excuses. No retakes.
Every problem lands directly on your desk. And you don’t have the luxury to say “I’ll fix it tomorrow.”
It’s now — or the whole line stops.
Still, every day we show up, suit up, and deliver.
Because production doesn't stop — and neither do we.
💥 Respect to every floor warrior who silently fights this battle daily.
Because behind every "Plan Achieved" board, there’s a person sweating silently behind the scenes.
