Key Responsibilities:

- Production management: Plan and execute daily, weekly and monthly production for fluoropolymer and engineered products, covering machining, moulding / processing, assembly, finishing and dispatch.
- Output and efficiency: Drive throughput, machine and manpower utilisation, yield and cycle-time improvement; monitor and reduce rejection, rework and scrap.
- PPC: Prepare production schedules from customer orders; maintain order-wise load planning, WIP tracking and delivery commitments; coordinate with sales and stores on priorities.
- Procurement: Manage purchase of raw materials (PTFE, PFA, FEP, PVDF and other polymers, metals, rubber, bought-out parts), tooling,



consumables and outsourced jobs; raise POs, negotiate prices and terms, and ensure timely delivery.
- Vendor management: Develop and evaluate suppliers and job-work vendors on quality, cost and delivery; maintain approved vendor records.
- Inventory control: Maintain optimum stock of raw material, WIP and finished goods; set reorder levels and minimise stock-outs and dead stock.
- Quality coordination: Work closely with QA/QC to meet drawing, specification and customer requirements; support root-cause analysis and corrective / preventive actions for rejections and complaints.
- Process and tooling: Review drawings and routing, fixtures, moulds and tooling requirements; support new product development and trial runs for new components.
- Maintenance and safety: Coordinate preventive maintenance of machines and tools; ensure adherence to safety, housekeeping (5S) and statutory requirements.
- Team leadership: Lead supervisors, operators and helpers; set targets, review performance and build discipline and skill on the shop floor.
- Costing and MIS: Support product costing, control of material and conversion cost, and provide regular production, procurement and PPC reports to the MD.

- 5 to 12 years of relevant experience in a small organisation, having handled production,



procurement and PPC while reporting directly to the owners or respective functional heads.
