Large-scale organizations require effective product leaders to drive operations forward, implement blueprints, and anticipate trends in areas such as technology and manufacturing. In today’s fiercely competitive arena, with specialization and higher standards being offered at unprecedented rates to meet market demand, companies need multifaceted experts to lead the ship while ensuring distinction, quality, performance, and returns, all while fostering customer trust.

Therefore, a Chief Product Officer oversees all aspects of the organization's manufacturing processes. This includes directing purchasing and layout of manufacturing equipment and being vigilant of the maintenance of the equipment and facilities.
