AI-Enabled Operations Lead (Plastic Injection Molding Manufacturing) — Malad Mumbai/Daman

About us

· Group with manufacturing (LED panels, fans, injection molding) across Vasai, Daman, and Malad.

· Vasai is SAP- and SOP-driven; we’re scaling the same rigor to Daman (25 molding auto feeder, machines with robots, conveyor)

· We want a hands-on operator who uses AI and data to systematize plants, reduce waste, and simplify paperwork.

Role purpose

· Rapidly establish SOPs, dashboards, and automations that improve OEE, first-pass yield, on-time dispatch, inventory accuracy, and working capital.

· Deploy practical AI/automation for production, QC, inventory, sourcing, and documentation—no academic experiments.

Key responsibilities

· Map current processes; write and roll out SOPs for molding, maintenance, QC, stores/dispatch, and order-to-cash.

· Implement OEE and downtime tracking on 25 molding machines; set real-time alerts and shift reports.

· Lead quality analytics (SPC, defect pareto, root cause) and introduce computer-vision spot checks where feasible.

· Digitize inventory (barcodes/RFID), lot traceability for resin and finished goods, and reorder signals.

· Automate paperwork: extract data from invoices/BL/PL into ledgers; reconcile PO/GRN/invoice; generate standard reports.

· Improve planning and execution: production scheduling, changeover windows, and logistics coordination.

· Vendor/sourcing analytics: RFQ templates, price/lead comparison, landed-cost models; structured supplier follow-ups.





· Train supervisors and staff; create adoption plans and straightforward manuals; measure impact with 90-day targets.

· Coordinate with Vasai SAP team to align master data and reporting.

Required skills

· Comfort with shop-floor data: PLCs/robots/conveyors; implementing OEE/downtime systems; basic industrial data connectivity.

· Practical AI/automation fluency: using LLMs for drafting SOPs/emails, RPA/document extraction, analytics dashboards (Power BI/Metabase), and basic computer vision pilots.

· Process design: Lean/Six Sigma, SPC, PFMEA, changeover reduction, visual management.

· Tooling: Excel/Google Sheets, SQL basics, Power BI or similar; bonus for Python, OpenCV, or no-code automation (Make/Zapier/Power Automate).

· Clear communication; ability to train non-technical staff; bias for action.

Qualifications

· 6–12 years in operations/industrial engineering/production management; plastics or electronics assembly preferred.

· Degree/Diploma in Mechanical/Production/Industrial/Manufacturing Engineering; Six Sigma Green Belt a plus.

Location

Compensation
