Job Purpose To lead the Quality Control function for the house wire manufacturing plant and ensure consistent product quality, process compliance, customer satisfaction, and adherence to applicable BIS/Indian Standards. The role will oversee incoming material, in-process, final testing, laboratory operations, quality systems, and continuous improvement.
For PVC household wiring, key quality parameters include conductor resistance, insulation thickness, insulation resistance, high-voltage/spark testing, mechanical properties, dimensions, and applicable fire-performance tests.
Key Responsibilities
- Quality Control & Assurance
- Lead overall QC activities across the wire manufacturing plant.
- Establish and monitor quality standards for raw materials, processes, and finished products.
- Ensure compliance with approved specifications, drawings, SOPs, control plans, and customer requirements.
- Monitor quality at all stages from wire drawing annealing bunching/stranding PVC extrusion printing coiling packing & dispatch.
- Identify quality deviations and ensure timely corrective and preventive actions.
2. Incoming Material Quality
- Control quality of copper, PVC compounds, additives, master batches and other incoming materials.
- Establish inspection standards and sampling plans for incoming materials.
- Coordinate with Purchase and suppliers for quality-related issues and supplier improvement.
- Monitor supplier rejection, quality trends and supplier CAPA.
3. In-Process & Final Inspection
- Monitor conductor diameter, resistance, elongation, tensile strength and other applicable parameters.
- Ensure insulation thickness, overall diameter, colour, surface finish and printing/marking are within specification.
- Monitor extrusion process parameters and identify defects such as pinholes, eccentricity,
poor surface finish and insulation variation.
- Ensure final cable testing and release is completed before dispatch.
4. Laboratory & Testing
- Manage the plant quality laboratory and ensure availability of required testing facilities.
- Ensure calibration and periodic verification of testing equipment.
- Maintain test reports, inspection records and calibration records.
- Ensure testing is carried out as per applicable BIS/IS requirements and approved test procedures. BIS documentation specifically requires suitable laboratory facilities, calibrated instruments and maintenance of test/inspection records.

6. Quality Improvement
- Analyse rejection, rework, customer complaints and process deviations.
- Conduct Root Cause Analysis, CAPA, 5 Why, Fishbone and Pareto analysis.
- Drive reduction in rejection, rework, scrap and customer complaints.
- Implement SPC, process capability and other statistical quality-control techniques where applicable.
7. Customer Complaints
- Lead investigation of customer complaints and field quality issues.
- Coordinate with Production, R&D;, Sales and Service teams for complaint resolution.
- Prepare 8D/CAPA reports and ensure closure within agreed timelines.
- Track recurring complaints and implement preventive measures.
8. Team Management
- Lead and develop the QC team, including QC Engineers, Inspectors, Lab Technicians and Supervisors.
- Allocate responsibilities and monitor shift-wise quality activities.
- Conduct training on quality standards, testing procedures, inspection methods and safety.
- Build a strong quality culture across the plant.
9. MIS & Reporting
- Prepare daily/weekly/monthly quality reports.
- Monitor key quality KPIs such as:
- Internal rejection %
- Rework %
- Scrap %
- Customer complaints
- Supplier rejection
- First Pass Yield
- Cost of Poor Quality
- CAPA closure
- Process deviations
- Present quality performance and improvement plans to Plant Management.
