Key responsibilities include:
Plan, schedule, and control daily production to meet output and on-time delivery targets

Drive continuous improvement on the shop floor through Lean, 5S, and Kaizen initiatives
Enforce HSE standards and maintain a safe, clean, and disciplined production environment

Manage production consumables and control waste, rework, and overtime
Maintain accurate production records and report performance to plant management
Who We're Looking For

Familiarity with quality standards (ISO 9001) and QA/QC processes
Experience with ERP/MES systems and KPI-based performance management
