What Does a Production Control Analyst Do?
Production control analysts monitor production processes and computer programs to test reliability and accuracy of overall production.
Production control analysts work alongside a variety of different departments like procurement and engineering. Production control analysts create and maintain the manufacturing schedule to ensure production efficiency. They also monitor safety alerts and security policies to maintain data confidentiality.

Production control analysts report and compile records with regard to production quality, cost, materials received, and shipped materials. They log production rates — documenting technical and operational procedures, as well as evaluate production performance.
What skills must a production control analyst possess?
