I manage the procurement of production materials, ensuring timely and cost-effective availability through effective vendor communication and inventory management. I create and oversee Purchase Requisitions (PRs) and Purchase Orders (POs) and conduct audits on the shop floor to adjust inventory stock accurately in SAP. I monitor inventory levels closely and coordinate with the procurement team to avoid both stockouts and overstocking. When primary suppliers can't meet delivery requirements, I engage with alternative suppliers and address any quality issues, communicating changes in material needs to vendors. I also handle the management and tracking of Returnable Delivery Challans to ensure accurate documentation and returns. Additionally, I maintain the production budget within monthly targets through strategic planning and manage daily job reports for operators to ensure accurate tracking and documentation of tasks.

As a Production Supervisor with over 3 years of experience, I managed a workforce of 50 employees and was responsible for overseeing daily operations to ensure smooth workflow and efficient task allocation. I planned manpower based on standard hour run rates, closely monitored hourly outputs, particularly in bottleneck processes, and maintained reports on five key shop floor metrics: safety, first-time quality, efficiency, people, and on-time delivery. My role involved collaborating with planners and supply chain teams to ensure timely material availability and production order execution. I actively participated in Kaizen initiatives, receiving multiple awards for process improvements, and ensured compliance with safety and quality standards through regular audits and inspections.

As a **Quality Lab Technician**, I was responsible for ensuring the accuracy and functionality of various measuring instruments through precise gauge calibration, including solid plug gauges, ring gauges, thread ring gauges, height gauges, plunger gauges, and pressure gauges. I maintained detailed calibration reports to ensure compliance with industry standards, while regularly managing gauge stock to ensure all tools were available and in proper condition. I also conducted dimension inspections of drill bits and die samples, verifying that they met the specifications outlined in engineering drawings. This role helped me develop a strong understanding of calibration processes and a foundational knowledge of engineering drawings, ensuring high product quality.
