AM – Process Optimisation (PO) - Vadodara (Bhayli)

Job Description:

Position             : AM – Process Optimisation (PO)

Department        : Process Engineering (SME)

Experience           : 8–14 Years

Qualification        : B.E./B.Tech + preferably an MBA or PMP certification

Salary Budget      : 8.00 to 12.00 LPA

Job Purpose:

Your role is the bridge between theoretical engineering and shop-floor reality. In a heat exchanger environment (Radiators, Charge Air Coolers, Oil Coolers), your focus is on reducing "waste" while increasing "throughput."

Key Responsibilities :

OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) :

• Line Balancing & Bottleneck Analysis: Conducting Time and Motion studies to identify "choke points" in the assembly of complex units like Bar & Plate radiators or Oil Coolers.

FTQ (First Time Quality) :

• Cycle Time Reduction: Redesigning workstations or sequence of operations to shave off seconds from the "Core Building" or "Brazing" cycles.

Changeover Time (SMED) :

• Yield Improvement: Analysing scrap data to identify process-driven defects (e.g., brazing leaks or fin damage) and implementing corrective actions.
• Layout Optimization: Implementing Lean/5S principles to minimize material movement between the fin mill, core assembly, and testing rigs.
• Automation Integration: Identifying manual processes (like leak testing or tube insertion) that can be semi-automated to improve consistency and safety.
• SOP & Work Instructions: Standardizing the "Best Way" to perform a task to ensure every shift produces the same quality.
• Analytical & Problem-Solving: Strong ability to analyse complex processes, identify bottlenecks, and implement effective solutions.

Key Performance Indicators :

• OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness)
• Throughput / Output per Shift
• FTQ (First Time Quality)
• Cost per Unit (Conversion Cost)
• Changeover Time (SMED)
• Scrap Rate
