1.Production Planning
Participate in daily review meetings with the Section Incharge to understand the daily production targets, inhouse rejection (IHR) targets, maintenance schedules and discuss variances (if any) in production
Analyze production for the previous day (and/or shift). Compare against target to identify deviations and help plan for next steps to enable recovery of losses in the day / shift
Create a work plan for production activities (during the day/shift) basis the daily section production requirement (target + previous losses (if any)) including
o Outlining responsibilities of all team members
o Production loading by machine
2.Production execution
Oversee end to end production process including all cell operation routines aimed at achieving the production target
Maximize plant production efficiency by monitoring and controlling production bottleneck areas
Resolve various issues impacting production capacity of plant; Escalate to Section Incharge for critical issues
Collaborate with maintenance teams as and when required to assess various maintenance requests basis risks involved to production. Aim at limiting machine breakdown to 3-4% and minimizing downtime
Monitor actual production vs scheduled production; Understand the causes for the deviation and implement corrective actions to prevent future occurrences
Provide daily updates regarding production activities, actual production, IHR, consumables utilization etc
3.Cost optimization
Monitor consumables per unit of product hence estimate the cost of manufacturing. Ensure consumption in-line with the consumables plan by optimizing utilization of the consumables
Study and analyze previous day rejections to identify processes getting rejected and its subsequent causes and effects. Submit the IHR report to the Section Incharge for further analysis and planning
Implement process modifications suggested by supervisor to control IHR thereby avoiding wastage of both quantity and cost
4.Continuous improvement initiatives
Contribute to the implementation of Kaizen and initiatives suggested by ME ensuring plant is operated in compliance with best engineering practices
Contribute to the review of plant operating procedures by provide inputs to modify the same to improve quality and performance of system
5.HSSE compliance
Ensure all documents such as QMS requirements, log books, log sheets and safety documents are properly stored and maintained for future reference
Ensure timely reporting and investigation for any HSSE related incident; Ensure effective and timely implementation of formulated action plan to prevent its reoccurrence
Conduct timely trainings and talks for all production personnel and contract workforce on all HSSE, legal, environmental and fire compliances and management
Facilitate internal / external audits and ensure compliance of all production processes to applicable environmental, health and safety policies, laws and regulations
6. Team development
Impart required technical skills to the team by facilitating knowledge transfer sessions
Create the right atmosphere for the team by providing continuous feedback, support and guidance basis their performance, KRAs and KPIs
Take responsibility to ensure that the team imbibes the committed organization values and culture
