Job Purpose

This role controls plant cost and material loss and improves workforce productivity. It does this through standard measurement systems (BOM, cost per sq ft, manpower matrices) and shop-floor automation such as production scanning, smart scheduling and live dashboards.

Key Responsibilities

Cost and Financial Control

• Track monthly plant cost per sq ft against budget, and analyse and explain variances.
• Reconcile BB and COV material consumption and wastage against BOM, keeping variance within 1%.
• Build and maintain a BOM-based tracking system for general consumables, with cost variance within 5%.
• Reconcile and approve job-worker bills within the agreed billing cycle, with no delays.

Automation and Digital Tracking

• Implement operator-wise and team-wise production scanning (barcode for COV, QR code for BB) to measure throughput and reduce manpower cost by 10% YoY.
• Drive smart production scheduling and order-kit allocation to improve direct-worker efficiency by 20%.
• Develop an AI / Power BI tracker for media-wise material inflow versus wastage,



with full traceability and variance under 1%.
• Maintain daily plant and department dashboards comparing budget and actual cost trends.

Waste Management and Manpower Productivity

• Develop at least two alternate or backup buyers for each saleable scrap item or category, targeting a 15% impact on sale value.
• Optimise waste disposal, including balers for cardboard, plastic and fabric, to cut waste volume by 30%.
• Build a manpower performance measurement matrix for non-sq-ft production and non-production departments.
• Support the skill matrix and skill-based operator allocation, and train supervisors and operators in method and productivity improvement (10 people per department).

General Duties

• Conduct time and motion studies, set standard times, and balance lines.
• Prepare monthly MIS and variance reports for management.
• Coordinate with production, stores, finance, IT and vendors.
