Role & responsibilities

- Ensure secure and reliable operation of diamond wire electroplating bays and assigned production lines during the shift.
- Own bay OEE, production output, availability, performance, and quality for assigned lines.
- Execute the shift production plan and coordinate with Day Superintendent and PPC for priorities.
- Ensure threading and changeover times meet defined standards and drive SMED and loss-time reduction initiatives.
- Monitor process parameters such as current, voltage, speed, tension, and temperature within specified control limits.
- Run production bays as per approved recipes, SOPs, and control plans.
- Respond to process alarms, perform first-level troubleshooting, and escalate issues to Process Engineering / CTS when required.
- Ensure sampling, in-process checks, and coordination with QA/Inline Inspection are completed.
- Maintain SPC charts for key bay parameters and support MSA, GR&R;, and control-limit reviews.
- Track Ni, diamond, consumables, and energy consumption at bay level and highlight variances against plan.
- Maintain accurate downtime, loss coding, and production data in MES/LIMS.
- Prepare shift reports covering yield, downtime, near misses, abnormal events, and action closures.
- Ensure strict compliance with HSEF standards, PPE requirements, PTW, and LOTO procedures.
- Conduct shift-wise Gemba rounds and ensure timely closure of HSEF actions.
- Lead and coach team members and contract manpower and conduct toolbox talks and on-the-job training.
- Drive 5S, visual management, standard work, and continuous improvement initiatives.




- Participate in Kaizen, problem-solving workshops, and trials for new products, wires, and DPC variants.
