About NGPL

Narendra Gravure Pvt Ltd is a leading Indian manufacturer of gravure printing machines. We are a 130-person manufacturing company in Faridabad with a strong order book and an active ERP rollout. We are professionalising our production planning function and hiring a PPC Engineer to take ownership of day-to-day planning and ERP-driven floor coordination.

The Role

You will own production planning and control for the entire shop floor. You will be the digital backbone of the production function — running the ERP, publishing schedules, coordinating with shop floor foremen, and ensuring every job moves through different machining centers on time.

This is not a desk-only planning role. You will walk the shop floor daily, work directly with foremen and CNC programmers, and convert their inputs into accurate ERP transactions and schedules.

Key Responsibilities

- Generate and maintain the weekly and daily production schedule in ERP for all active orders (typically 15 concurrent orders, 4-8 machines on assembly floor at any time).
- Conduct daily 9:30 AM shop floor standup with foremen and CNC supervisor; capture job status, blockers, and priorities; update ERP immediately.
- Conduct daily 5:30 PM close with the same team; reconcile what was done vs planned; lock tomorrow's plan in ERP.
- Generate cut lists for raw materials from BOMs in ERP; coordinate for material release.
- Sequence and prioritise jobs across CNC, VMC, lathe, grinding, plating, and assembly operations based on commitments.
- Track shortages, expedite vendor follow-ups (coordination with purchase team), and escalate blockers.




- Route components through subsequent operations — schedule next operation in ERP and coordinate physical movement with foremen.
- Publish weekly schedule to senior management for review and approval.
- Drive ERP discipline on the production floor — own all production transactions, ensure data accuracy, and identify gaps in BOM and routing master data.
- Document process routings in ERP for parts on active orders, working with CNC programmer and foremen as input sources.
- Coordinate dispatch readiness with stores and assembly to give reliable ETAs to customer-facing teams.

Must-Have Skills

- 4-7 years of hands-on production planning experience in machine tools, capital equipment, special purpose machines, heavy engineering, or job-shop manufacturing.
- Demonstrable ERP fluency — you must have personally operated an ERP system (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Tally ERP 9, BUSY, or similar) for production transactions, scheduling, and BOM management. Be prepared to discuss specific transactions and screens you used in your previous role.
- Strong understanding of make-to-order / low-volume high-mix manufacturing environments.
- Working knowledge of machining processes — CNC, VMC, lathe, grinding, surface treatment, assembly sequencing.
- Ability to read engineering drawings and understand BOMs, routings,



and tolerances.
- Comfortable working on the shop floor in a manufacturing environment.
- Fluent in Hindi and English. Must be able to communicate effectively with shop floor operators in Hindi.
- Strong Excel skills.
- Based in or willing to relocate to Faridabad / NCR.

Valuable to Have

- Exposure to make-to-order capital equipment, printing machinery, packaging machinery, or similar industries.
- Experience driving ERP adoption in a partially-digital manufacturing setup.
- Prior experience working alongside senior shop floor foremen who do not use computers themselves.
- Industrial Engineering / Production Engineering degree (BE/B.Tech preferred but not mandatory if experience is strong).

What You Will NOT Be Doing

To set expectations clearly:

- This is not a pure desk planning role — you will spend significant time on the shop floor every day.
- This is not a quality assurance role. Quality checkpoints will be defined in routings, but QA is a separate function.

Why This Role Matters

NGPL is at an inflection point. We are formalising the planning function so that the company can scale, take on bigger orders. The person we hire will play a central role in that transition — and will have the opportunity to grow into a Production Manager role over 18-24 months as the function matures.

You will report to the Director with regular review by the Managing Director. You will work closely with the shop floor foreman, CNC programmer, stores head, and purchase team.

Pay: ₹600,000.00 - ₹720,000.00 per year

Work Location: In person
