Role Description

Position: Production Supervisor

Company: American Bath Group (ABG)

Location: South Boston, VA

Shift: 2nd Shift (4:00 PM – ~2:00 AM)

Reports To: Plant Manager

ABOUT ABG

American Bath Group (ABG) is a leading North American manufacturer of bathware products serving residential, multifamily, hospitality, and e-commerce channels. ABG operates more than 35 manufacturing facilities and 15 distribution locations across North America and is a portfolio company of Centerbridge Partners.

ABG operates with a founder-led, execution-driven culture built around measurable performance, operational accountability, and disciplined growth.

At the plant level, supervisors are given:

• Real authority and ownership
• Clear KPI expectations
• Direct visibility into performance outcomes
• Exposure to multi-line composite manufacturing
• Advancement pathways across a multi-plant network

This is a performance environment. Leaders who deliver results are given runway.

THE OPPORTUNITY

The Production Supervisor – Lower Building (LRTM) will stand up and stabilize a brand-new second shift by installing disciplined manufacturing leadership, delivering defined KPI performance, and building a cross-trained, accountable team capable of operating independently within 12 months.

This role operates within Light Resin Transfer Molding (LRTM) manufacturing.

Light Resin Transfer Molding (LRTM) is a closed-mold fiberglass composite process in which dry reinforcement (fiberglass mat or fabric) is placed into a mold, resin is injected under controlled pressure, and the part cures inside the mold to produce structurally consistent, cosmetically controlled composite products.

The process requires:

• Resin ratio and material usage discipline
• Cure-cycle awareness
• Mold handling precision
• Standard work adherence
• Strong math literacy and documentation rigor

This is cell-based composite manufacturing — not continuous flow automation.

This is not a turnaround of broken process.

The process exists. The shift does not.

This leader will be the highest-ranking authority on site during second shift and must operate with independent judgment, production rigor, and cultural steadiness.

CORE MANDATE

Within 12 months, this leader must:

• Launch and stabilize a new second shift
• Deliver ~50 parts per shift (scaling with production plan)
• Maintain ≥98% quality
• Sustain 98–99% on-time shipment alignment
• Achieve defined MHPU labor productivity targets
• Reduce turnover to ≤25% (aspirational 8–10%)
• Implement cross-training coverage across the shift
• Ensure the shift functions independently without day-shift rescue

Success equals stability + predictability + metric discipline.

YEAR ONE CRITICAL SUCCESS FACTORS

1. Shift Launch & Stabilization

• Onboard and train 11–15 initial team members (scaling upward)
• Install norms and expectations early
• Execute effective hot handoff from first shift
• Establish standard work adherence
• Prevent “night shift drift”

2. Production & KPI Discipline

• Deliver consistent output (~50 parts per shift)
• Sustain ≥98% quality
• Maintain shipment alignment
• Hit MHPU targets
• Control scrap and rework within plant thresholds

3. Labor & Cultural Stability

• Reduce turnover below 25%
• Install skill matrix and cross-training redundancy
• Maintain documentation rigor
• Lead across culturally diverse workforce with approachability

4. Operational Discipline

• Enforce standard work
• Lead structured root cause analysis (5 Whys, Fishbone)
• Maintain resin/material usage accuracy
• Plan shift execution prior to production start

WHAT THIS ROLE IS NOT

• Not retail or food-service leadership transitioning into manufacturing
• Not a theoretical Lean practitioner without floor ownership
• Not a turnaround executive
• Not a hands-off delegator
• Not an ego-driven “know-it-all”
• Not someone requiring constant oversight

This role fails when leadership is unapproachable, administratively weak, or resistant to standard work.

LEADERSHIP PROFILE — OPERATOR / STABILIZER (WITH BUILD CAPACITY)

Behavioral Profile:

• Floor-present and visible
• Calm under stress
• Low ego, high accountability
• Willing to escalate when necessary
• Structured and paperwork-disciplined
• Culturally adaptable

Operating Tempo:

• Daily KPI tracking
• Pre-shift planning discipline
• Immediate correction of deviations
• Clear shift communication

EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS

Required:

• Manufacturing leadership experience (production environment)
• Direct supervision of hourly workforce
• KPI literacy (Output, Quality %, MHPU, Throughput)
• Ability to operate independently on second shift

Preferred:

• Composites, fiberglass, FRP, LRTM, vacuum infusion, or similar
• Root cause tools (5 Whys, Fishbone)
• Bilingual (English/Spanish)

Not Required:

• Full P&L ownership
• Multi-site leadership
• Deep industry tenure (transferable manufacturing acceptable)
