Job Description

To manage and deliver timely, reliable production across all fabrication sections, ensuring adherence to plans released by PPC. The role requires direct leadership of Section In-Charges, oversight of daily shift execution, early resolution of delays, and coordination with Maintenance, Stores, and Quality. In a new greenfield plant, the Production Head is responsible for building discipline, team capability, and section readiness without depending on multiple supervisory layers.

Key Responsibilities

1. Production Leadership

Lead and coordinate shift-based execution across:

o CNC Cutting & Beam Welding Section

o Manual Welding Bay (15+ Cells)

o Shot Blasting & Painting SectionEnsure daily/weekly/monthly targets are achieved as per the PPC plan. Monitor WIP, ensure jobs are complete with required parts, and secure QC clearances before dispatch. Intervene promptly when any job is stuck or behind schedule.

2. Section Oversight

Directly manage Section In-Charges, providing guidance on job priorities, manpower allocation, and shift discipline. Step in where needed to resolve section-level bottlenecks or escalations. Balance workloads between sections when competing demands arise.

3. Adherence to Plan

Conduct

daily and weekly production reviews

to check adherence against the PPC-released plan. Identify deviations early and take corrective actions (manpower redeployment, sequencing changes, escalation to Plant Head). Work with PPC to update plans when external constraints (drawing, material, QC) require adjustment.

4. Coordination with Other Functions

Collaborate with Stores for the timely availability of material and consumables. Align with Maintenance to ensure high machine availability. Escalate delays due to drawings, manpower shortages, or external dependencies.

5. Quality & Safety

Ensure fabrication meets specifications "first-time-right," with support from QA/QC. Enforce safety practices across shifts and ensure the readiness of equipment and the workplace.

6. Team & Shift Management

Deploy manpower across 2-3 shifts, balancing permanent staff and contract labour. Hold daily reviews with Section In-Charges; resolve issues without micromanaging. Develop skills through cross-training; build accountability within section teams.

7. Reporting & Systems Discipline

Track production KPIs (output, reasons for delays, section performance) and report to the Plant Head. Drive discipline in job cards, WIP logs, and SAP usage (PP, MM modules). Ensure accurate data capture for review and analysis.
