Front Line Supervisor

Front Line Supervisor

The Front Line Supervisor (FLS) oversees day-to-day execution of frontline and customer service operations at the Main Individual Issue Facility (Main IIF).

HR, legal, financial, scheduling, and disciplinary authority remain with the IIF Site Manager.

The FLS is accountable for three outcomes: (1) customers receive their full required gear based on the Master Issue List and availability, (2) wait times are minimized through effective use of the Queue Management System (QMS) and real-time adjustments, and (3) all issue/return/exchange transactions are executed correctly at the counter.
