Purpose of the Role

To plan, coordinate, and control the entire production cycle from order receipt through raw material planning, processing, and dispatch ensuring on-time delivery, optimal capacity utilization, and minimal inventory holding across weaving, processing/coating, and finishing stages.

Key Responsibilities

Production Planning
- Convert confirmed sales orders / buyer forecasts into a master production schedule across weaving, processing (dyeing/coating/finishing) and value-addition stages
- Plan machine-wise and shift-wise loading to optimize capacity utilization and minimize changeover losses
- Coordinate greige fabric requirement planning with weaving (in-house or outsourced) to ensure uninterrupted feed to processing

Process & Capacity Coordination
- Work closely with the processing department (coating, lamination, dyeing, finishing) to plan batch sizes, sequencing, and recipe/process changeovers for effective throughput
- Monitor process-wise cycle times, machine efficiency, and bottleneck stages; drive corrective action with production heads




- Coordinate with weaving for beam planning, loom allocation, and greige quality/quantity alignment with processing schedules

Material Planning
- Plan raw material requirement in line with production schedule and lead times
- Coordinate with procurement to avoid stock-outs or excess inventory
- Maintain minimum/safety stock levels for critical raw materials and WIP

Order & Delivery Management
- Maintain order status tracking (order booked greige processing finishing dispatch) and provide visibility to sales/merchandising
- Flag delays proactively and re-prioritize schedules to meet buyer delivery commitments
- Coordinate with QC/QA for in-process approvals to avoid schedule slippage

MIS & Reporting
- Prepare daily/weekly production reports, capacity utilization reports, order pendency, and OTIF (on-time-in-full) delivery metrics
- Track and report process-wise rejection/reprocessing and its impact on sch
