The Factory Manager will own the end-to-end manufacturing operations at our Sikandra facility. This is not a passive supervisory role. You will be the single point of accountability for everything that happens from the moment raw materials and components enter the factory gate to the moment a fully assembled, calibrated, inspected, and packaged gas detector leaves for the customer. You will manage production planning, inventory and stores, assembly quality, Third Party Inspection (TPI) readiness, and the factory workforce, while ensuring strict compliance with ATEX/SIL-2 manufacturing protocols and BIS standards.

Core Responsibilities

1. Production Planning & Execution
- Own the master production schedule, aligning it with the Sales and Tender teams' order pipeline to ensure on-time delivery against PSU purchase orders and project deadlines.
- Manage the complete assembly and manufacturing workflow for portable gas detectors, fixed gas detectors, flame detectors, control panels (GasGuard M16), and wireless monitoring systems.




- Coordinate daily with the Supply Chain/Procurement team (currently led by Mr. Anurag Mittal) to ensure uninterrupted availability of critical components: sensors (MPS, NDIR, Electrochemical), PCBs, enclosures, displays, connectors, and test gases.
- Track and resolve production bottlenecks in real-time, ensuring the assembly line never stalls waiting for a single component.

2. Inventory, Stores & BOM Management
- Supervise the Stores team to maintain accurate, real-time inventory records in the ERP system (ERPNext).
- Enforce strict BOM (Bill of Materials) discipline. Every unit assembled must consume exactly the components specified in the engineering BOM, with no unauthorized substitutions.
- Implement and maintain FIFO (First In, First Out) for all perishable/date-sensitive components, especially sensors, batteries, test gas cylinders, and potting compounds.
- Conduct periodic stock audits and cycle counts to minimize discrepancies betw
