We are hiring a Factory Head to run the factory. You own capacity, output, quality, cost and people across planning, cutting, stitching, machine and hand embroidery, and finishing
The floor runs on experience today, not numbers. Putting the measurement systems in place is your first-year mandate. Production is order-wise: many small, unique orders, each with its own specs and finishing notes, on delicate fabrics. The floor also runs on a few key people — part of the first year is building a named backup for every section so no section depends on one person.

- C) Embroidery — In-House

- Install the factory’s measurement layer: SAM, section-wise efficiency, defects per hundred units, wastage, machine downtime, manpower productivity
- Set the daily and weekly MIS and run production reviews off the numbers
- Send a daily production report by section; manage production planning with capacity numbers in hand
- E) Quality Process
- Build quality controls into cutting, stitching and embroidery so defects are prevented, not inspected out
