Responsibilities :
- Monitor and verify all shift activities including machine checking, IPQC (dimensional and attribute), FT change, DB change, greaser change, colour change, daily machine performance reports, and process parameters.
- Implement quality corrections (dimension, moisture, process parameters) to minimize defects and achieve target DAFOE.
- Ensure process parameters for colour change are adhered to (viscosity, temperature, dip length, dip bath centrality and parallelity, gelatin level).
- Maintain viscosity norms during variations in weight and viscosity.
- Perform SCADA monitoring of process parameters and take corrective actions for deviations.
- Generate and communicate daily shift reports for performance, productivity, and support decision-making for HOD / In-charge.
- Ensure 100% SAP entries for dips and downtime.
- Verify line clearance during colour changes using SOP call-out method to ensure FTR.
- Coordinate with cross-functional teams (CFT) for colour change, machine trippings, breakdowns, downtime due to process parameters, cGMP, and regulatory aspects.
- Ensure 100% compliance with scheduled activities.
- Execute CAPA for internal and external customer requirements.
- Control excess / short production to manage inventory and improve DAFOE / OTDIF; communicate leftover dip quantities to Gel Room Chemist for planning.
- Analyse defects and trippings and take timely corrective actions.
- Ensure availability of necessary materials for the shift.
- Communicate quality status to the team to maintain consistent quality.
- Execute uncut camera / laser sensor teaching during colour change.
- Manage shift handover and takeover.
- Attend daily / weekly / monthly meetings and participate in cross-functional projects.
- Handle observation audits during shifts.
- Conduct daily shift opening meetings with the team for shift planning.
