Qualification Experience required Engineering Degree Diploma in Production Mechanical Industrial discipline Exposure in Lean manufacturing Experience of 3 to 4 years for BE or 5to 6 years for diploma in process industrial engineering Should possess knowledge in material handling equipment Key Responsibilities 1 Responsible for design facilitation and implementation of existing new manufacturing methods in production 2 Responsible for study and implementation of capacity management activities for planned and projected production requirements and business objectives 3 Plan develop and implement projects to improve productivity manpower optimization and automated manufacturing facilities reduction in employee fatigue and improve safety 4 Ensure documentation of processes in authorized formats and provide inputs feedback on process changes improvement activities Task Analysis Indicative Tasks 1 Responsible for design facilitation and implementation of existing new manufacturing methods in production Study requirement for manufacturing improvements changes gaps in production along with production quality and other functions Prepare and provide plan on timelines milestones and other stages including trial runs and implementation Design manufacturing process process flows including production cycle time reduction increase in automation elimination of non value adding activities based on business priorities and requirements Define in detail stage wise production process for approvals from various stakeholders including alternate process flows as necessary and relevant Ensure rigorous trial and error testing of new process is carried out and attend to any issues bottlenecks that arise during testing procedures Facilitate trial in live scenarios on shop floor along with production and quality to observe the functioning of defined process Provide necessary inputs to carpenters fabricators for facilities creation as per requirements Design fixures and tooling for the new existing products and processes as required by prodcution process Support production by providing right material handling methods Study process gaps issues and provide analytics on observed process gaps output failures drop and failures in trial runs Resolve issues with process design as per defined guidelines to ensure error free implementation in production process Support production in migration of process prepare guideline SOPs process flows charts illustration notes for implementation including shop floor facilities for execution Collaborate on process design facilitation implementation requirements and tasks with ME and other functions for smooth transition to current processes changes in existing processes Conduct sustenance audits on implemented processes periodically to address issues gaps as defined and relevant 2 Responsible for study and implementation of capacity management activities for planned and projected production requirements and business objectives Analyze short long term capacity increase requirements for planning and implementing projects to address achieve production output 1F 2T Firm and Tentative production plans across various lines Understand production requirements and short and long term business objectives Measure study analyze output capacity in defined process for comparison and capacity planning Map existing capacity against projected business requirements for estimations for decrease increase in capacity and capability for production capability for product variants Collate inputs data information from production quality machine building NPPO to address production capacity requirements Implement projects planned on time with approved budget to achive bussiness objectives Coordinate with prodcution quality maintenance and other function for changing of layouts to improve process flow 3 Plan develop and implement projects to improve productivity manpower optimization and automated manufacturing facilities reduction in employee fatigue and improve safety Review established process on an ongoing basis to identify areas of improvement Collect inputs from the production and quality team on issues production that can be attributed to process design and flow Plan and define process improvement Manufacturing cost reductions projects and conduct feasibility checks on the proposed projects validity and investment time and resources Convert plan into daily tasks with clear time schedules and milestones to measure progress Monitor progress on the plan and ensure adherence to all defined project guidelines and SLAs Undertake joint validation of the projects and also address rejections and quality gaps Review inputs received from various stakeholders on projects and incorporate feedback suggestions for rework Undertake projects to increase manpower productivity by identifying opportunities for automation and addressing employee fatigue using principles of ergonomics Update projects stakeholders on progress estimated time of delivery and escalate issues bottlenecks as necessary 4 Ensure documentation of processes in authorized formats and provide inputs feedback on process changes improvement activities Define develop and document process flows process charts detailed Standard Operating Procedures SOPs for production processes for existing revised new proposed processes Collate drawings designs for illustrations in SOPs manuals Develop necessary documentation including process sheet visual instructions for processes various metrics to measure process efficiency and others Provide inputs on changes in process requirements on Fixtures Tools modifications to optimize tool use Provide inputs to NPPO on process design challenges and process improvements during conceptualization and design of new products Provide support to Production on developing and implementing lean systems as appropriate Undertake activities to achieve defined targets of Elgi Improvement Tracker EIT and Higher the Better HTB objectives
