Job Purpose To plan, schedule, and monitor production activities across the steel foundry and downstream processes to ensure on-time delivery, optimum capacity utilisation, controlled inventory, and smooth coordination between melting, moulding, fettling, heat treatment, machining, and dispatch. Key Roles & Responsibilities 1. Production Planning & Scheduling Prepare monthly, weekly, and daily production plans based on: Customer delivery schedules Sales orders / forecasts Available melting, moulding, and finishing capacities Convert customer schedules into: Heat plans Moulding schedules Fettling and heat-treatment plans Prioritise orders based on: Customer criticality Export vs domestic commitments Penalty / SLA requirements Balance load across shifts and equipment to avoid bottlenecks. 2. Capacity Planning & Load Analysis Evaluate and monitor capacity of: Induction furnaces / ladles Moulding lines Fettling bays Heat-treatment furnaces Machining (if in-house) Identify overloads or under-utilisation and propose: Shift changes Overtime Sub-contracting (if applicable) Support management in capacity expansion and CAPEX planning using data. 3. Material & WIP Control Ensure availability of: Moulding sand, resins, sleeves Alloys and charge mix Consumables critical to production flow Control WIP at each stage: Moulding → Knockout Fettling → Welding Heat treatment → Inspection Minimise excessive WIP and waiting time between processes. 4. Inter-Departmental Coordination Coordinate closely with: Melting & moulding teams for heat readiness Fettling and welding for throughput planning Quality for inspection and NDT sequencing Maintenance for planned downtime Dispatch & logistics for shipment readiness Act as the single point of coordination between Sales, Production, and Quality. 5. ERP, MIS & Reporting Create and maintain production plans in ERP / Excel / planning tools. Track and report: Plan vs actual production Delays and reasons WIP ageing On-time delivery (OTD) Generate daily, weekly, and monthly MIS reports for management. Ensure data accuracy for: Sales orders Production confirmations Inventory movements 6. Delivery & Customer Commitment Management Ensure adherence to committed delivery dates. Proactively flag risks related to: Capacity constraints Material shortages Quality hold-ups Support Sales in: Revised delivery commitments Recovery plans for delayed orders Coordinate expediting for urgent or premium orders. 7. Continuous Improvement & Process Optimisation Analyse production data to: Reduce lead time Improve throughput Lower inventory carrying cost Participate in: APQP and new part introduction planning Bottleneck elimination initiatives Lean / TPM / Kaizen activities Suggest improvements in planning logic and sequencing. Key Deliverables (Measurable Outputs) Realistic and executable monthly and weekly production plans Consistent on-time delivery performance Balanced capacity utilisation across foundry operations Reduced WIP and improved material flow Accurate and timely production MIS reports Effective coordination with minimal firefighting Improved visibility of risks and constraints to management Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) On-Time Delivery (OTD %) Plan vs Actual production adherence WIP ageing and inventory turnover Capacity utilisation % Schedule changes / plan stability Customer delivery escalations Qualifications & ExperienceEducation BE / BTech / Diploma in Mechanical / Production / Metallurgy / Industrial Engineering Experience 3–7 years in production planning or PPC in a steel foundry or heavy engineering environment Hands-on experience with multi-stage manufacturing preferred Required Skills & Competencies Strong understanding of steel foundry processes and constraints Capacity planning and scheduling skills ERP / Excel proficiency (pivot tables, trackers, formulas) Analytical and problem-solving ability Clear communication and coordination skills Ability to work under delivery pressure Authority & Responsibility Authority to plan and reschedule production within approved limits Responsibility for production flow and delivery adherence Accountability for delays due to planning or coordination gaps Job Types: Full-time, Permanent Pay: ₹25,000.00 - ₹30,000.00 per month Benefits: Cell phone reimbursement Health insurance Provident Fund Experience: Steel foundry total work: 1 year (Preferred) Work Location: In person
