Manager – PPC & Operations Coordination

Role Purpose

To act as the central coordinator for all orders and developments – making sure every style, fabric, and project has a clear Time & Action plan, is tracked daily, and that you get one clean update, instead of you chasing 10 people.

One brain in the middle that always knows: what is due, where it is stuck, and who moves next.

Key Responsibilities

A. Order & Development Planning (T&A)

• For every buyer order, sampling programme, and key fabric development:
• Create a Time & Action (T&A) with milestones and dates:
• Fabric: yarn → weaving/knitting → dye/print → finishing → testing → in-house.
• Garment: fabric in-house → cutting → sewing → finishing → packing → dispatch.
• Ensure all owners (fabric merch, cutting in-charge, production in-charge, etc.) agree on realistic dates.

B. Daily Coordination & Follow-up

• Every working day:
• Check with Fabric / Merchandising: what moved yesterday, what is planned today.
• Check with Cutting & Sewing: output vs plan, styles running, any bottlenecks.
• Check Finishing / Packing: status towards dispatch commitments.
• Check Lab / Testing: pending reports, tests to be initiated.
• Check Accounts only for critical items: payments that directly block production/testing/dispatch.
• Update the central tracker and mark:
• On-track (Green),
• At risk (Amber),
• Delayed (Red) – with reasons.

C. Capacity Planning & Line Loading

• With IE / line-setter / production supervisor:
• Convert order quantities and SAM (when available) into daily production targets.
• Prepare a line loading plan – what style runs where, from which date to which date.
• Make sure promised ex-factory dates match realistic capacity.

D. Tracking & Reporting

• Maintain a master PPC tracker (in Google Sheets / Excel) covering:
• All styles, fabrics, orders, and key internal projects.
• Planned vs actual dates for each T&A milestone.
• Prepare a daily summary report to you (see template below).
• Prepare a weekly review summary:
• Completed milestones.
• Slippages and root causes.
• Corrective actions & support required.

E. Risk Management & Escalation

• Identify risks early:
• Vendor delays, fabric rejections, test failures, machine breakdowns, absenteeism spikes, etc.
• First try to resolve with the concerned person/vendor.
• Escalate to you only when:
• It affects a key buyer date,
• It needs extra money,
• Or a policy/priority decision.

F. Data Discipline & Systems

• Ensure all responsible teams update the tracker regularly (not just verbal).
• Keep records for:
• Confirmed T&A dates.
• Production output per day per line.
• Rework / rejection at key stages (fabric and garment).
• Support migration of this logic into ERP later, once you implement.

G. Cross-Functional Behaviour

• Be neutral and factual – no favouring any department.
• Communicate clearly and respectfully with everyone:
• Tailors and floor supervisors,
• Merchandisers, fabric managers,
• Mill / vendor contacts,
• Accounts and lab staff.
• Surface all updates -good or bad - early with 1–2 solution options.
