A day in the life

You arrive to a clean, organized floor and walk the bread packaging lines with maintenance and QA. CCPs are verified, materials are staged, and the crew is briefed. As the line starts, you fine‑tune equipment, keep a close eye on quality, and minimize downtime. Mid‑shift, you switch the product variety with a tight changeover, log crate counts, and finalize the production report. You coach a new team member, flag a mechanical concern for maintenance, and complete a safe lockout during a brief stop—all while keeping output, food safety, and product quality on target.
