Print-on-demand means every order is a different job. No batch runs, no settling into a rhythm — a continuous stream of unique work that still has to hit dispatch cut-offs.
That's a harder operations problem than volume manufacturing. And we're not handing you a floor that already solves it.
What you'd build
• Scheduling and sequencing logic that keeps work moving through printing, finishing, packing and dispatch
• Measurement that tells the truth — throughput, first-pass yield, changeover time, where the day actually goes
• Changeover discipline, which is where high-mix operations quietly lose hours nobody counts
• Quality control points placed where defects are catchable, not where they're discovered
• SOPs and training that make the floor run the same way on every shift, including yours off
You'd own
• Daily throughput across printing, finishing, packing and dispatch
• On-time dispatch against customer SLAs. This is the number
• A shift team of operators,
finishers and packers — training, coverage, performance
• Escalation when machines stop or material runs short, and the discipline to prevent the repeat
You need
• 5+ years running a production or fulfilment floor with real throughput accountability
• High-mix, short-run experience. If your background is long production runs, this will feel unfamiliar
• Demonstrated team leadership on a shop floor — 10+ people, across shifts
• Comfort with SLA pressure and the judgement to decide what ships first when not everything can
• The instinct to root-cause rather than rework
• Fluent Hindi; working English
• Digital printing, personalisation or e-commerce fulfilment exposure strongly preferred
Three openings, across shifts and operational areas.
