Role & responsibilities :

1New Product Development Phase

Ensure for each recent program a timeline is prepared by NPD engineer and is in line with customer timeline and follow all APQP steps

Periodic review of each program and act on delayed activities by communicating to other function stake holders and escalate to PM and plant ME head if remains unresolved and make sure in-house facility is ready as per plan

Resource planning as per NPD workload

Weekly and monthly summary update of own set of product category to plant ME head for his compilation

1. RFQ Phase

Review make or Buy sheet, Manufacturing feasibility document, tentative timeline for accuracy of information
1. Proto Phase

Review with NPD engineer on their observations from proto sample making event and make sure respective functions R&D; and PM etc. aware of the engineer recommendation
1. Process Design Phase

Review process and line design recommendation prepared by NPD engineer and do course correction Review PFD, PFMEA and control plan for their accuracy

Review machine and Jigs& fixture design requests for adequacy

1. Process Development Phase

Support in trouble shooting, if any, by providing technical guidance to NPD engineer Resolve inter departmental issues for smooth functionality of NPD engineer

Escalate to plant ME head if issues are unresolved

JFG design phase: JFG Design lead Variant

1. Design Work estimation and Delegation

Receive design request from M.E. engineers Estimate workload and allocate design work to designers per time availability

Review Progress and make necessary changes

1. Design Approval

Check and approve JFG Designs
1. Design Manual

Keep on creating design guidelines for critical design points and keep updating design manual
1. Design Quality

Promote SMED concepts in design Promote pokayoke and interlocks features in JFG Design wherever feasible





Current products (In process) phase: (ME Current Product lead Variant)

1. Capacity Planning

Periodically review capacity sheet cellwise and product wise and get it approved from Plant ME head Annual capacity planning and proposals for annual budgeting to plant ME Head

Monthly capacity utilization review and recommend actions to plant ME Head

Review & Plan capacity improvement for growth products by de-bottlenecking, automation etc.

1. Quality Improvements

Periodic review of PFMEA, pokayoke and interlock list along with concerned engineer Review process defect analysis and its adequacy for preventive/defective controls and get approval from plant ME Head
1. Productivity Improvement

Reduce direct manpower by automation, alternate process recommendation, conveyorization for material movement, layout improvement etc.
1. Industrial engineering

Lead MOST norm estimation for new products as well as current products as and when requested Provide production manpower estimation as per indent plan after analyzing opportunities and flow for improvement of workstation ergonomics and implement necessary actions

Drive productivity and flow Improvements through industrial engineering effort of line balancing,

material flow, man motion, station design study

1. Process Cost Reduction

Reduce indirect consumable material wastage by finding alternate low-cost material like cutting inserts, cutting oil, or with increased life

Find and propose alternate process with lower process cost

1. Review process Document

Review process documents like PFC. Control Plan, PFMEA, IPO updated by following PCRN process Keep backup like process qualification reports, process capability reports etc. with approved documents
