Purpose of the Role

NSTL is scaling production of rubber oil seals (double lip, double leap, valve stem) across OEM and aftermarket channels, with a confirmed FY 2026-27 growth plan and an active strategy development engagement underway. The Plant Head will take end-to-end ownership of manufacturing operations — rubber mixing, moulding, metal ring treatment, finishing and dispatch — currently overseen across separate Production, Metal Ring Treatment and Quality Assurance heads, providing a single point of accountability for output, quality, cost and on-time delivery as the plant scales toward its FY 2026-27 sales plan.

Key Responsibilities
- Leads the Production, Quality, Purchase and PPC teams in the plant
- Own daily production planning and execution across all process stages (rubber mixing, moulding, metal ring treatment, finishing) to meet the monthly sales plan, coordinating directly with Sales on order priority.




- Drive OEE improvement across rubber mixing, moulding and finishing lines, and reduce phosphating-related downtime, working with the interim external phosphating supplier arrangement pending the 2028 in-house decision.
- Own the plant's contribution to the FY 2026-27 KPI set agreed,: Rubber Mixing OEE, Moulding OEE, Finishing OEE, Production Plan vs Actual, Order vs Dispatch.
- Manage plant headcount, shift planning and manpower allocation, attrition, training and the incoming SAP transition.
- Own plant-level cost control: raw material yield, wastage, and manufacturing cost as a share of revenue, in line with the 5-year P&L; assumptions being finalised for the strategic plan.
- Act as the plant-side owner for SAP go-live readiness — supporting creation of accurate material master, BOM and route master data, and the dual-running transition plan.
- Partner with Quality Assurance on rejection/rework reduction
