Apple Computer said Deborah A. Coleman, 32, has been named vice president of manufacturing with responsibility for the Cupertino-based company’s worldwide manufacturing operations.

Coleman, who previously was director of manufacturing, was described by an analyst as a protege of Apple’s former chairman, co-founder Steven P. Jobs. Jobs angrily resigned last month, taking five top employees with him to start a new computer venture.
