* Manage RM scheduling: coordinate with procurement on HR coil delivery schedules, verify RM specifications against order requirements, and maintain RM receipt records with weight and quality verification.
* Own dispatch planning: prepare daily/weekly dispatch plans based on FG readiness, customer priorities, vehicle availability, and logistics capacity. Ensure dispatch plan adherence.
* Monitor and control inventory levels: RM, WIP (at each process stage), and FG. Report inventory days and ageing weekly. Flag slow-moving or excess inventory for resolution.
* Maintain coil traceability: ensure each coil is tracked through every process stage with unique identification (coil number, heat number, grade, dimensions). ERP data entry discipline is critical.
* Coordinate with sales/commercial for order confirmations, delivery date commitments, and any changes in customer requirements. Serve as the plant-side interface for customer delivery queries.
* Manage warehouse and yard operations: systematic storage of RM, WIP, and FG coils/sheets. Ensure FIFO discipline, damage prevention, and easy retrieval for dispatch.
* Own logistics coordination: vehicle planning, transporter management, freight cost monitoring, and in-transit tracking. Optimise vehicle utilisation and reduce logistics cost per tonne.
* Resolve production bottlenecks: when plan deviations occur (breakdowns, quality holds, RM delays), quickly re-plan and communicate revised schedules to all stakeholders.
* Ensure ERP accuracy: all planning, scheduling, inventory, and dispatch data must be entered accurately and in real time. Coordinate with IT/ERP team to resolve system issues.* Drive RM-to-FG conversion cycle time reduction: track the average time from RM receipt to FG dispatch, identify delay points, and implement improvements.
* Prepare MIS and reports: daily production report, weekly dispatch plan vs actual, inventory position, order book status, customer delivery adherence report, and WIP ageing report.
* Coordinate with stores and procurement for consumable availability (packaging material, strapping, edge protectors) to avoid dispatch delays.
* Support new product/customer onboarding: ensure planning systems accommodate new grades, dimensions, or special processing requirements.
