Job Overview

The Production Shift Supervisor leads end-to-end shop floor operations during an assigned shift. This includes optimal manpower allocation, ensuring machine efficiency, tracking shift metrics, overseeing mold and tool handling, controlling scrap and rejection, and maintaining plant safety and discipline.

Key Responsibilities1. Shift Manpower & Labour Allocation

- Deploy machine operators, mold setters, and helpers across active machines at the start of each shift based on production schedules and skill levels.
- Manage shift attendance, handle unexpected absenteeism, reallocate floor labor dynamically, and authorize shift overtime or relief breaks.
- Conduct pre-shift briefings to review production targets, quality concerns, and safety instructions.

2. Shift Data Recording & Operational Logging

Maintain and verify the Daily Shift Production Logbook / ERP Entries, capturing machine-level data for:

- Active Mold: Mold code, cavity count, product description, and bottle/container size running per machine.
- Manpower Log: Exact operator names, helpers, and technician assignments per machine.
- Output in Kilograms: Net acceptable finished product output (kg) per machine per shift.
- Rejections in Kilograms: Total scrap, start-up lumps, purging, and defective container weight (kg) per machine, categorized by defect reason.
- Production Time & Cycle: Total operating hours, scheduled mold-change time, and unplanned downtime breakdown (breakdowns, power, no material).

3. Spare Parts, Tools & Mold Management

- Supervise mold changes, tool setups,



and ensure standard setup sheets/parameters are followed.
- Safeguard molds, hot runners, neck inserts, blow cavities, and auxiliary tooling during changes and storage.
- Manage floor spare parts inventory (e.g., heater bands, thermocouples, ejector pins, seals, pneumatic hoses), logging issued and returned items.
- Ensure toolboxes, calibration gauges, and hand tools are securely checked in/out and kept clean.

4. Quality Assurance & Rejection Control

- Validate "First Piece / First Article" approval after any mold change, color switch, or shift changeover before mass run.
- Enforce hourly quality checks (wall thickness, bottle weight, leak integrity, haziness, drop test).
- Identify root causes of high rejection rates (kg) and take immediate corrective process actions.

- Raw Material & Regrind Reconciliation: Log resin (virgin PET/PP) vs. masterbatch vs. regrind/crushed material issued and consumed per shift to track yield loss.
- Auxiliary Equipment Monitoring: Monitor chillers, mold temperature controllers (MTC), air compressors, and resin dehumidifier/dryer dew points.
- Standardized Shift Handover Protocol:



Enforce a 15-minute physical walkthrough with incoming and outgoing supervisors checking machine status, scrap bins, and material stock.
- 5S & Floor Safety Enforcement: Ensure clean machine surroundings, explicit gangways, spill prevention, and mandatory PPE compliance.

Shift Handover & Production Workflow

The supervisor must execute the following structured cycle every shift:

1.Shift Takeover & Manpower Line-up:First 20 minutes of shift.

Verify floor attendance, assign qualified operators and helpers to designated machines, review the previous shift log for open mechanical issues, and take over running machines.

2.First-Piece Inspection & Parameter Verification:

Verify that operating temperatures, cycle times, mold cooling rates, and active mold codes match production specifications; sign off on initial production samples.

3.Mid-Shift Audits & Scrap Tracking:

Perform floor rounds every 1.5 to 2 hours to audit machine running status, check hourly container weights, inspect rejections, and weigh floor purge/scrap bins.

4.Tools & Spare Reconciliation:

Ensure all tools used for mold adjustments, wrench sets, and spare components are cleaned, accounted for, and returned to designated storage racks.

5.Shift Log Closing & Handover Walkthrough:Final 20 minutes of shift.

Compile total production (kg) and rejection (kg) per machine, calculate scrap percentage, document total downtime, and conduct a physical handover walkthrough with the incoming supervisor.

Pay: ₹15,000.00 - ₹20,000.00 per month
