Capital Airgun Manufacturers Pvt Ltd

1. Assembly Line Management Plan, coordinate, and monitor day-to-day activities on the arms and airgun assembly line to ensure optimal productivity and output quality. Develop and implement Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for each stage of the assembly process, ensuring consistency and compliance with defence-grade standards. Identify and resolve process bottlenecks, optimize line layout, and recommend enhancements to reduce cycle time and improve takt time. 2. Production Planning & Execution Develop and maintain monthly and weekly production plans in coordination with supply chain and sales demand forecasts. Track material availability and ensure Just-In-Time (JIT) inventory management to avoid downtime. Monitor shop floor manpower deployment and skill alignment to meet production targets efficiently. 3. Quality Control & Assurance Oversee Incoming Quality Control (IQC) for critical components such as barrels, trigger mechanisms, polymer stocks, and machined parts. Ensure In-Process Quality Control (IPQC) and Final Quality Control (FQC) checks are strictly followed as per SOPs and applicable defence manufacturing standards (e.g., BIS, MHA, Proof Testing norms). Collaborate with QA team to manage product traceability, documentation, and audit compliance. 4. Failure Analysis & Corrective Action Investigate and document production or field failures (e.g., misfire, air leakage, accuracy deviation, or finish defects). Conduct Root Cause Analysis (RCA) using tools like 5 Whys, Fishbone Diagram, and FMEA to identify design, material, or process-related issues. Implement corrective and preventive actions (CAPA) to eliminate reoccurrence and improve overall reliability. 5. Process & Continuous Improvement Champion productivity improvement initiatives such as Lean Manufacturing, 5S, and Kaizen on the shop floor. Monitor OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) and drive initiatives to enhance utilization of critical machinery like CNCs, jigs, and pneumatic testers. Collaborate with R&D and Design teams for production feasibility and new product industrialization. 6. Documentation & Compliance Maintain all production and quality control records as per ISO 9001, IATF (if applicable), and defence offset documentation norms. Support in internal and external audits including those by defence PSUs, DGQA, and proof testing authorities. Preferred Qualifications & Skills: B.E./B.Tech in Mechanical, Industrial, or Production Engineering. 25 years of experience in manufacturing, preferably in the defence or firearms/aerospace industry. Knowledge of arms manufacturing processes, proof testing protocols, and safety compliance is a plus. Proficient in ERP systems (SAP, Odoo, etc.), MS Excel, and production analytics. Strong analytical, problem-solving, and team management abilities. Ability to read and analyse engineering drawings Additional Preference: Prior experience in defence-sector companies (e.g., OFB, DRDO vendors, defence licensees). Candidates from Kanpur or surrounding regions will be preferred due to proximity to the production unit and cultural familiarity with the firearms ecosystem.
