Manufacturing Program Managers in an manufacturing industry

What is manufacturing program management

    Manufacturing program management is a functional department in a manufacturing environment. This role act as a leader for a smaller team in an organization. Manufacturing program management team is also the group that acts as the customer interface. In short, we called it "the voice of customers".
