In addition to day-to-day operations, the Plant Manager is responsible for establishing operational systems from the ground up: drafting Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), designing shop-floor log sheets, setting up Daily Production Report (DPR) formats,



and driving a culture of continuous improvement.
