About the Role
The Production Executive will be stationed at one of our third-party manufacturing facilities and act as The Health Factory’s representative on the shop floor. The role covers daily production execution against plan, adherence to approved recipes and SOPs, food safety and hygiene compliance, material consumption and wastage control, and clear daily reporting to the central operations team. The ideal candidate has hands-on shop floor experience in food or bakery manufacturing, understands GMP and quality systems well, and can hold a manufacturing partner’s team to our standards through solid working relationships rather than direct authority.

Key Responsibilities
1. Production Execution
• Monitor daily production against the approved production plan, SKU-wise and shift-wise.
• Ensure production targets and dispatch timelines are met, given the short shelf life of our products.
• Coordinate with the contract manufacturer’s production team for smooth flow across mixing, proofing, baking, cooling, slicing and packing.
• Track output,



line efficiency and downtime, and report daily performance. 2. Quality & Process Compliance
• Ensure products are manufactured as per approved recipes, specifications and SOPs.
• Monitor adherence to FSSAI, GMP, food safety and hygiene standards on the shop floor.
• Verify that only approved raw materials and packaging materials are used, and check allergen and cross-contamination controls where partner lines run other products.
• Escalate deviations immediately and support root-cause analysis and corrective action with the Quality team. 3. Inventory & Wastage Control
• Monitor raw material and packaging material consumption against standard recipes and BOMs.
• Carry out batch-wise yield reconciliation (material issued vs. output) and flag variances.
• Minimise production losses, rejections and wastage.
• Ensure proper handling, storage and FIFO of company-owned materials at the facility. 4. Documentation & Reporting
• Maintain production records, batch records and daily production reports.
• Share daily updates on output, yield, wastage and issues with the central operations team.
• Highlight risks, delays and operational concerns proactively. 5. Partner Coordination & Process Improvement
• Build a strong working relationship with the partner’s production, quality, warehouse and planning teams.
• Resolve shop-floor issues diplomatically and escalate when needed.
• Support implementation of process improvements, new product trials and SOP updates. Key Performance IndicatorsThe role will be measured on:
• Plan adherence: daily production achieved against plan, SKU-wise, within dispatch timelines
• Yield & wastage: batch yields within standard; production losses and rejections trending down




• Quality & compliance: zero use of unapproved materials; deviations escalated the same day; audit observations closed on time
• Material reconciliation: RM/PM consumption reconciled batch-wise against standard, with variances explained
• Reporting: accurate daily production reports shared on schedule Ideal Candidate ProfileExperience
• 2–3 years in food manufacturing, FMCG production or contract manufacturing operations.
• Hands-on shop floor experience is mandatory; experience as a brand representative at a co-manufacturer’s plant is a strong plus. Category Experience Candidates from bakery (bread, buns, biscuits, rusks, cakes) or other fresh, short shelf-life food categories will be preferred. Skills & Competencies
• Strong understanding of GMP, hygiene, FSSAI requirements, quality systems and production processes.
• Working knowledge of production records, batch documentation, yield and wastage calculations.
• Basic Excel skills for daily reporting and tracking.
• Able to influence a partner’s team without direct authority, and escalate firmly when standards slip.
