1. Production Planning
- Participate in daily review meetings to understand the daily production targets, inhouse rejection (IHR) targets andmaintenance schedules
- Take a handover of the activities of the previous shift. Identify deviations from the production plan viz-a-viz the target and assist the Shift In-charge/Cell In-charge plan next steps to enable recovery of losses
2. Production execution
- Assist the Shift In-charge/Cell In-charge in overseeing end to end production process (during the shift) including all cell operation routines aimed at achieving the production target
- Ensure execution of the work plan as decided by the supervisor. Delegate responsibilities to the operators and monitor their work against the set plan. Provide guidance as and when required
- Set machine parameters as per SOP guidelines. Oversee the process for the manufacturing of the 1st piece and take approval from concerned stakeholders before continuing the shift production
- Take over the production set up from the operators incase of an urgent part dispatch requirement
- Manage availability of all manufacturing requirements (consumables, tooling etc.). Verify list of requirements, plan for and ensure their timely procurement
- Supervise critical maintenance work supporting the maintenance team to minimize the machine downtime
- Train the floating manpower on their assigned tasks. Prepare regular manpower to take on floating manpower work in their absence
- Resolve various issues impacting production plant; Escalate to Shift In-charge/Cell In-charge for critical issues
- Provide daily updates regarding shift’s production activities, actual production, IHR, consumables utilization etc. as required by the Shift In-charge/Cell In-charge
3. Cost optimization
- Monitor consumables per unit of product. Inform supervisor of any deviations in consumption viz-a-viz the consumables plan
- Study and analyze previous shift rejections to identify processes getting rejected and its subsequent causes and effects. Submit the analysis to the Shift In-charge/Cell In-charge for further evaluation and planning
- Implement process modifications suggested by supervisor to control IHR thereby avoiding wastage of both quantity and cost
4. Continuous improvement initiatives
- Manage the implementation of Kaizen and initiatives suggested by ME ensuring plant is operated in compliance
with best engineering practices
- Conduct quality inspections to determine defects. Conduct root cause analysis of the identified defects and make
suggestions for machine rectification. Implement suggestion post approval
- Study existing plant processes. Ideate to enhance production efficiency and enable process continuity
5. HSSE compliance
- Ensure all shift related documents such as logbooks, log sheets and safety documents are properly stored and maintained for future reference
- Ensure timely reporting for any HSSE related incident; Ensure effective and timely implementation of formulated action plan to prevent its reoccurrence
- Support Shift In-charge/Cell In-charge in conducting trainings and talks for all production personnel and contract workforce on all HSSE, legal, environmental and fire compliances and management
- Support internal / external audits and ensure compliance of all production processes to applicable environmental, health and safety policies, laws and regulations
