Production Associate

WHAT DOES A PRODUCTION ASSOCIATE DO?

A production associate is responsible for performing various tasks in a factory or manufacturing setting. Production associates typically work on an assembly line and are responsible for ensuring that products meet quality standards. They do so by doing the following:

Inspecting products

When a product comes down the assembly line, the production associate is responsible for inspecting it to ensure that it meets certain quality standards. For instance, they check to see if there are any defects in the product. If they find any defects, they will either fix them or notify a supervisor.

Helping in the assembly and packaging of products

In some cases, production associates will also be responsible for assembling products. For example, they get to put together the pieces of a toy or piece of furniture. When a product gets finished, the production associate will likely also help in packaging it. This involves putting it in a box or wrapping it in plastic and then sealing it.

Overseeing the types of materials used in production

In some cases, production associates will be responsible for overseeing the types of materials used in production. For instance, they make sure that the right type of plastic is being used to wrap a product or that the right type of wood is being used to make a piece of furniture.

Ensuring the proper use of equipment 

When you become a production associate, you will also be responsible for ensuring the proper use of equipment. For example, you will need to make sure that an assembly line is running smoothly or that a machine is properly calibrated.
