Key Responsibilities1. End-to-End Ownership & Chaos Control
- Establish the Master Production Schedule (MPS): Convert highly dynamic customer forecasts (from major OEMs) into concrete, realistic daily and weekly production plans.
- Bring Order to the Floor: Walk the shop floor daily. Identify bottlenecks, tackle material shortages, and restructure raw production schedules into a predictable, disciplined flow.
- Enforce Ownership: Take absolute responsibility for meeting dispatch timelines. When a machine breaks down or a material shipment is delayed, own the mitigation plan rather than just reporting the failure.
2. Material Requirement Planning (MRP) & Bill of Materials (BOM) Control
- BOM Accuracy: Collaborate with the New Product Development (NPD) and Engineering teams to ensure 100% accurate BOMs for custom wire harnesses (ranging from straightforward LV to complex HV EV harnesses).
- Inventory Control & Shortage Mitigation: Work closely with Procurement to track incoming raw materials (connectors, terminals, sleeves, wires) against production schedules.
Minimize both dead stock and production line stoppages.
- WIP Management: Monitor and control Work-In-Progress (WIP) inventory across cutting, crimping, sub-assembly, assembly board, and final testing stages.
3. Capacity & Resource Planning
- Optimize the utilization of automatic cutting & stripping machines, applicator tooling, semi-automatic crimping presses, and manual assembly boards.
- Balance workforce allocation based on product complexity and daily volume targets.
4. Data-Driven Systems & Reporting
- Move the shop floor away from verbal commitments to data-driven performance.
- Establish key performance indicators (KPIs) such as Plan vs. Actual (Adherence), OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness), and OTIF (On-Time In-Full).
- Standardize and automate daily, weekly, and monthly progress reports.
Required Skills & Qualifications
- Education: B.Tech / B.E. in Electrical, Mechanical, or Production/Industrial Engin
