1. Production & Capacity Management
- Plan, organize, and monitor daily, weekly, and monthly laundry production to achieve production and shipment targets.
- Develop and execute capacity plans based on machine availability, manpower, WIP, production requirements, and shipment schedules.
- Ensure maximum utilization of machines, manpower, chemicals, utilities, and production capacity.
- Monitor production schedules closely and take immediate corrective action against any deviation.
2. Wash Development & Process Control
- Coordinate with Merchandising, Technical, and Production teams for first bulk approval, production execution, and delivery as per approved schedules.
- Finalize base wash counters, PP parameters, wash recipes, recipe corrections, final washes, shade bands, and production standards.
- Develop and maintain SOPs for wet and dry processes to ensure consistent bulk execution.
- Monitor critical process parameters including chemical dosage, liquor ratio, temperature, cycle time, machine loading, and process sequence.
- Ensure bulk production strictly follows approved recipes and standards.
3. Quality & Process Improvement
- Conduct process and risk analysis for production and quality issues.
- Lead RCA/CAPA for rejection, shade variation, process failure, rework, and other production issues.
- Reduce rework, rejection, alteration, process loss, and unnecessary machine cycles.
- Drive continuous improvement initiatives to improve right-first-time (RFT), productivity, quality, and efficiency.
4. Chemical & Cost Management
- Monitor and optimize chemical consumption without compromising quality.
- Control washing cost through effective management of chemical consumption, water, energy, manpower, machine utilization, rewash, and process losses.
- Work closely with chemical suppliers and technical teams for process optimization and new chemical/process development.
5. Ozone & LID Process Management
- Monitor and control Ozone Treatment and LID processes according to customer requirements and company standards.
- Ensure proper process parameters, safety procedures, quality consistency, and productivity.
6. Shipment & Cross-functional Coordination
- Closely coordinate with Merchandising, Planning, Sewing, Finishing, Quality, IE, and Commercial teams to ensure timely garment availability and shipment.
- Identify potential shipment risks in advance and implement recovery plans.
- Ensure laundry production priorities are aligned with customer shipment requirements.
