CI Solutions is expanding its production capacity and preparing to open a new production facility, including the addition of four to five automated UV digital printing systems.
We currently have dedicated project management, production management, and engineering resources. This role will work alongside those teams, with a specific focus on production automation, systems integration, and scaling the operation from a single production line to multiple coordinated production units.
The initial focus will be developing a complete understanding of the existing equipment and end-to-end production workflow. This leader will then define how the operation must change to support multiple production lines efficiently. They must understand the intricacies of moving from one line to many, including job routing, equipment utilization, shared resources, staffing, maintenance, quality control, production visibility, redundancy, and exception handling.




The primary objective is to build a scalable and increasingly automated production model that can sustainably reduce standard lead times from approximately 20 business days to 7–10 business days without sacrificing print quality, personalization accuracy, data integrity, or service reliability.
Key Responsibilities
Own the strategy for scaling CI Solutions production environment from a single-line workflow to multiple coordinated production units.
Clearly articulate the business case for production investments, including expected capacity, labor impact, throughput improvement, operating risk, cost, and return.
Define how jobs should be scheduled, routed, prioritized, balanced, and reassigned across multiple production units.
Design processes that prevent equipment expansion from creating additional manual handoffs, disconnected workflows, or new production bottlenecks.
Determine which production functions should be centralized, and which should be managed at the individual line level.
Establish a scalable operating model for shared r
