Key Responsibilities

1. Production Operations & Efficiency

Supervision: Oversee all stages of tablet production (Dispensing, Granulation, Drying, Milling, Blending, Compression, Coating) to ensure they are completed according to the established production schedule and BMR/SOPs. Target Achievement: Drive the team to meet daily, weekly, and monthly production targets (yield and output) efficiently. Resource Management: Ensure the availability of required raw materials, packaging materials, and approved components before initiating a batch. Equipment Management: Supervise the operation, setup, changeover, and cleaning of all manufacturing equipment (e.g., RMGs, FBDs, blenders, tablet presses, coaters). Troubleshooting: Act as the first line of support for identifying and resolving process and equipment-related issues, coordinating with the Engineering/Maintenance team as necessary.
2. Quality, Compliance & Documentation

cGMP Adherence: Ensure strict adherence to cGMP, cGCP (Good Clinical Practices), and EHS (Environmental, Health, and Safety) guidelines on the shop floor at all times. Batch Record Review: Accurately and contemporaneously document all production activities in the Batch Manufacturing Record (BMR) and logbooks. Review completed documentation for correctness and completeness. Line Clearance: Execute and verify area and equipment clearances before and after each operation to prevent mix-ups and cross-contamination. In-Process Checks (IPQC): Coordinate closely with the Quality Control/Assurance team to ensure timely and accurate execution of all in-process quality checks (e.g., tablet weight, hardness, friability, disintegration). Deviation Handling: Report and investigate any deviations, non-conformances, or incidents immediately and initiate appropriate documentation (e.g., Deviation Report, CAPA).
3. Team Leadership & Development

Staff Allocation: Assign daily tasks and manage shift-wise manpower to optimize workflow and productivity. Training: Conduct on-the-job training and periodic retraining for production operators and assistants on SOPs, BMR procedures, equipment operation, and safety. Discipline & Morale: Promote a positive work environment, enforce company policies, and address minor disciplinary issues and performance concerns.
4. Coordination & Reporting

Inter-Departmental Liaison: Coordinate with Quality Assurance (QA) for in-process checks and documentation review; with Warehouse/Stores for material movements; and with Engineering for equipment maintenance and calibration. Reporting: Generate and present daily production reports, shift handover reports, and track Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) like OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) and batch cycle time.
