Company name : MTC India Rubber Metal Components Pvt. Ltd
Industry : Railways
Position : Deputy Manager - Process Engineering
Work location - Bommasandra Industrial Area, Bangalore
Working days - 6 days (Monday to Saturday)
Company summary :
MTC India Rubber Metal Components Pvt. Ltd is a specialized subsidiary of Wabtec Corporation that specialized in the design and manufacture of rubber-metal suspension systems for the railway sector. MTC is part of Wabtec Corporation, and currently has production plants in Spain (HQ), China, India and US.
Position Mission
- Facility Creation & Process Optimization: Drive greenfield/brownfield facility execution for new projects and
orchestrate continuous process improvements in existing Rubber-to-Metal bonded manufacturing setups.
- Capacity Enhancement: Actively identify bottlenecks and systematically scale up production line capacity to
consistently satisfy surging client delivery schedules.
- New Product Industrialization: Build, validate, and sign off on new fabrication processes; transform prototypes into
robust mass-production baselines.
- Cross-functional Synergy: Maintain close daily touchpoints with the Production floor to identify real-world
inefficiencies, evaluate cycle lags, and deploy modern process modifications.
- Assembly Architecture Validation: Oversee the creation, structuring, and empirical validation of downstream
mechanical assembly frameworks, securing seamless manufacturability and strict defect control.
- Standardized Documentation: Standardize advanced manufacturing playbooks including Process Data Sheets
(PDS), Operation Data Sheets (ODS), Assembly Instruction Sheets (AIS), and Process FMEA.
Key Responsibilities & Operational Pillars
1. Process Design, Validation & Implementation
- Develop, validate, and execute robust production and assembly architectures optimized to hit rigid Quality, Cost, and
Delivery (QCD) targets.
- Establish and dynamically update fundamental manufacturing files: Process Flow Diagrams (PFD), Control Plans,
Process FMEA (PFMEA), and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
- Lead rigorous technology transfer activities (Transfer of Technology - TOT) received from overseas technical entities
(SISCO), adjusting variables for full local configuration and end-customer sign-off.
2. Continuous Improvement & Lean Engineering
- Instill a culture of structural efficiency by managing Lean, Kaizen, Value Engineering, and systematic waste
elimination roadmaps across complex assembly chains.
- Conduct structured work-measurement audits, including stop-watch time studies, method studies, and deep-dive
MOST analysis to optimize line balancing and eliminate hidden idle time.
- Architect and deploy physical mistakeproofing systems (Poka-Yoke), smart automation loops, digital tracking
systems, and Industry 4.0 data frameworks to drive asset optimization.
3. Capacity & Layout Engineering
- Formulate detailed machine/line capacity planning models and evaluate technical process baselines through
continuous Cp and Cpk capability studies.
- Iterate and draft plant blueprints, macro/micro material logistics flows, and high-efficiency workstation designs to
maximize throughput per square meter.
- Deliver clean capacity matrices and analytical operational constraints as strategic inputs into the sites Strategic Plan
(Strap) and Sales, Inventory, & Operations Planning (SIOP) cycles.
4. Recent Product Industrialization (NPI)
- Direct the Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP)
cycle from conceptual sourcing checkpoints up to stable serial
dispatch.
- Coordinate with strategic sourcing teams to finalize Make vs. Buy commercial models for new project assets, tooling,
and incoming components.
- Own the end-to-end operational launch of new mechanical assemblies, organizing stage allocations, lineside
balancing, and training plans for ramp-up verification.
5. Tooling, Automation & Line Setup
- Conceptualize, detail, and refine specialized jigs, fixtures, customized ergonomic assembly tools, and dedicated
conveyors.
- Resolve active floor issues via systematic root cause analysis, resolving tooling deformations, fixture misalignments,
or process variances to sustain a stable running state.
- Govern the structural setup of incoming production layout nodes: detailing conveyors, hardware integration, utility
tie-ins, and safety compliance checks.
6. CAPEX & Budgetary Management
- Enforce strict budgetary control over capital allocations reserved for fresh programmatic launches and facility
upgrades.
- Build bulletproof financial justifications and detailed Return on Investment (ROI) models to secure prompt executive
budget validations from executive leadership.
- Supervise the entire lifecycle of engineering asset acquisition: defining engineering procurement sheets, tracking
vendor construction, managing installation, and overseeing formal commissioning.
7. Daily Operational Support & Risk Mitigation
- Provide immediate diagnostic support for active floor exceptions escalated through the site's Quick Response Quality
Control (QRQC) tracks.
- Run continuous engineering audits covering First Article Inspections (FAI) and formal Measurement Systems
Analysis (MSA / Gage R&R;).
- Track technical process downtime data, identify Pareto trends, and enforce definitive corrective actions to slash
recurring scrap generation and cycle delays.
