Manufacturing Company Org Chart Template
Manufacturing plants depend on handoffs: purchasing brings material in, stores issues it, production converts it, quality checks it and dispatch ships it. A plant org chart shows who owns each handoff, which is exactly where most delays and quality escapes happen.

Manufacturing org chart FAQs
What departments are in a manufacturing company?
Production, quality, maintenance, supply chain (purchase, stores, logistics), R&D or engineering, sales, finance and HR.
Who does the quality department report to?
Best practice is to the plant head or managing director, not to production, so quality decisions stay independent of output targets.
How do I show multiple plants?
Add an operations director under the managing director and give each plant head its own branch. Shared functions like finance and sales stay at the corporate level.
