Job Description

Own the lifecycle of fabric orders--from design brief and yarn planning through vendor allocation, bulk production, QA, and dispatch--ensuring right-first-time quality, on-time shipments, and complete yarn-to-finished-fabric reconciliation.

Key Responsibilities

Design hand-off & planning:

Translate design briefs into manufacturable specs (construction, EPI/PPI, GSM, width, finish, print repeat). Build T&A with clear milestones.

Yarn calculation:

Compute warp/weft requirements, conversion to kg, process losses, and safety margins. Plan beams/shade lots to minimize mixing.

Production planning:

Book mill/printing/finishing capacities; release lots with traceability; daily/weekly tracking against T&A and immediate risk escalation.

Vendor liaison:

Issue POs/job-work orders; coordinate development ? bulk; negotiate timelines; maintain vendor scorecards (OTIF, quality, responsiveness).

Colour management:

Run lab dips/strike-offs; set ?E targets & light sources; lock recipes; manage shade grouping (A/B/C) and roll numbering.

Quality assurance:

In-process checks (warping/sizing/loom); final inspection to 4-Point/10-Point; AQL sampling; ensure test compliance (wash/rub/perspiration/light, tensile/tear, pilling, shrinkage).

Reconciliation:

Maintain lot-wise input-output from yarn issue ? grey ? processed ? packed A-grade; analyze variances; raise debit/credit where due.

Stakeholder communication:

Act as single point for buyer/brand updates, approvals, and corrective actions with clear timelines and impact.

Documentation & compliance:

Tech packs, POs/challans/GRNs, inspection reports, test certs, shade maps, PP/bulk approvals--version-controlled and audit-ready.
