Manager PPC

As a Production Planning and Control (PPC) Manager, your main responsibility is to develop a production plan, budget, and timelines according to production specifications. You will be overseeing production planning and management activities within the organization, ensuring timely delivery and optimal utilization of resources like manpower, machines, and materials. Conducting daily meetings to track production schedules, resolving production issues, and coordinating with different departments are also key aspects of your role. You will be calculating material requirements based on Bill of Materials (BOM) and consumption rates, raising material requisitions to Procurement, and coordinating with the Stores team for inventory control. Analyzing machine capacity, manpower availability, and identifying bottlenecks to propose solutions for capacity optimization will also be part of your responsibilities. Monitoring daily production output, tracking key production Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and generating Management Information System (MIS) reports on production status will be crucial in your role. Collaborating with Quality, Design, and Supply Chain Management (SCM) teams to address deviations or design changes, participating in New Product Development (NPD) meetings, and supporting audits with relevant documentation are essential for cross-functional collaboration. Ensuring efficient planning to reduce production downtime, minimizing inventory holding costs through Just-In-Time (JIT) planning, and contributing to cost-saving initiatives via lean planning and waste reduction are also expected from you. Your knowledge and skills in product knowledge, process knowledge, planning, execution, coordination, people management, financial budgeting, and relationship management will be instrumental in delivering on your accountabilities. A formal education requirement for this role is a Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering, with a minimum of 10+ years of experience in PPC, preferably in the Automotive industry. Your ability to maintain and update production data in ERP/SAP systems, ensuring real-time tracking of job cards, Work-In-Progress (WIP) status, and material consumption, will play a vital role in the smooth execution of production activities. Your expertise and experience in production planning and control will contribute significantly to meeting production targets and ensuring customer satisfaction.,
