Key Responsibilities & Duties
Production Planning & Floor Execution
Shift Management: Plan, allocate, and execute daily production schedules based on targets provided by the Production Manager.
Machine Setup & Optimization: Set and monitor critical process parameters (temperature, pressure, cycle time, and speed) on plastic processing machinery.
Resource Allocation: Ensure optimal utilization of manpower (operators, helpers) and machines during the shift to maximize output.
Quality Assurance & Troubleshooting
Defect Minimization: Continuously monitor product quality on the floor to minimize rejection rates and scrap generation.
Root Cause Analysis (RCA): Diagnose and troubleshoot processing defects (e.g., short shots, flashing, shrinkage, silver streaks, warping) and adjust machine settings accordingly.
SOP Adherence: Ensure all operators strictly follow Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to maintain product consistency.
Maintenance & Downtime Management
Preventive Maintenance:



Coordinate with the maintenance team for scheduled servicing of molding machines, molds, and auxiliary equipment (chillers, hopper dryers, granulators).
Breakdown Resolution: Act quickly during mechanical or electrical breakdowns to minimize machine downtime and production loss.
Manpower Management & Safety
Shop-Floor Discipline: Manage, motivate, and maintain discipline among skilled and unskilled workers in the shift.
Safety Compliance: Enforce the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) like safety shoes, gloves, and earplugs. Ensure strict compliance with factory safety standards to maintain an accident-free workplace.
Training: Conduct on-the-job training for current operators regarding machine safety, operation, and quality standards.
Documentation & Reporting
Daily Production Reports (DPR): Maintain accurate logs of raw material consumption, total production yield, rejection details, and downtime, typically managed in Excel.
