Senior Engineer – Operational Excellence

Role Overview: - - We are seeking a highly motivated Industrial Engineer to join our Operational Excellence (OPEX) team for our Pipe Manufacturing Division. - This role will be responsible for driving productivity improvements, cost optimization, process engineering, Lean implementation, and digital transformation across various manufacturing lines. - The ideal candidate should have hands‑on experience in manufacturing operations along with strong analytical skills and a solid foundation in Industrial Engineering, Lean tools, and Work Study. Key Responsibilities - Conduct detailed Time Studies using stopwatch and PMTS (MOST/MTM) to determine Standard Times. - Establish Standard Operating Cycles, manpower norms, and productivity baselines. - Apply Method Study to optimize labor, motion, and process flow. - Perform Line Balancing for extrusion lines, socketing lines, threading stations, packing operations, etc. - Analyze and minimize non-value-added activities on the shop floor. - Support capacity planning, manpower modelling, and machine loading plans. - Implement Lean methodologies such as: - 5S, Kaizen, Poka-Yoke, Kanban, Andon, Jidoka, Visual Controls - SMED to reduce die/tool changeover time in extrusion - Value Stream Mapping (VSM) – Current State & Future State - Standard Work creation and audits - Drive waste reduction projects focusing on defects, waiting, movement, overprocessing, inventory, and overproduction. - Lead shop-floor improvement activities, conducting Gemba walks, Kaizen blitz, and cross-functional workshops. - Capture and analyze Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) across production lines. - Conduct Six Big Losses analysis and identify chronic issues (Breakdown, Speed Loss, Idling, Defects). - Work closely with Maintenance to minimize breakdowns and micro stoppages. - Develop daily/weekly/monthly loss reports and implement action plans to reduce performance and quality losses. - Collaborate with Production & Quality teams to improve dimensional consistency, reduce ovality, thickness variation, and melt defects. - Conduct trials for new dies, calibrators, and raw material combinations. - Drive FMEA, identify high-risk processes, and implement CAPA. - Support process validation, SOP creation, and continuous standardization across shifts. - Build and maintain dashboards for OEE, downtime, energy consumption, yield, and scrap trends using Excel / Power BI & Python – Program Based Excel Automation. - Collect, analyze, and interpret production data to identify improvement opportunities. - Conduct Cost-per-Kg analysis for products. - Support initiatives related to: Material yield improvement, Energy reduction (kWh/ton) , anpower optimization, Changeover time reduction - Validate and document project benefits in line with OPEX financial goals. Requirement - B.E./B.Tech in Industrial Engineering, Mechanical, Production Engineering (Mandatory) - Lean Six Sigma Yellow/Green Belt preferred - Additional coursework in Lean, TPM, or OPEX is an advantage - 1–2 years in manufacturing, preferably in manufacturing, polymer processing, or continuous production lines - Experience in Industrial Engineering OR Operational Excellence department is required - Excel (Advanced), Power BI dashboards, Basic Python/R (optional), AutoCAD for layout design (preferred) - Time Study (Stopwatch, MOST/MTM), Work Measurement, DILO, VA, NVA Analysis, Workload & manpower modeling, Line balancing (continuous & batch processes), Plant layout improvement and workflow optimization, Ergonomics and workstation design principles. - 5S implementation & audit readiness, Kaizen / CI project execution, VSM (Value Stream Mapping), SMED for quick changeovers, Kanban & Pull systems, Poka-Yoke design & implementation, Root Cause Analysis (5 Why, Fishbone, Pareto) Behavioral Competencies - Strong analytical and problem-solving ability - Proactive, structured, and detail-oriented approach - Good communication for cross-functional collaboration - Ability to lead shop-floor teams and drive change - Hands-on, shop-floor oriented mindset - High sense of ownership and accountability
