Job Summary

We are looking for an experienced and proactive Production and Supply Chain Coordinator to manage end-to-end order planning, production coordination, material availability, inventory utilisation and on-time dispatch.

The candidate will coordinate with Sales, Purchase, Production, Assembly, Stores and Quality teams to ensure customer orders are completed and dispatched within committed timelines. The role requires hands-on experience with SAP Business One (SAP B1), Production Planning and Control (PPC), material planning and inventory management in a make-to-order manufacturing environment.

Key Objective: Achieve the monthly production and dispatch plan while improving On-Time Delivery (OTD) and reducing order-to-dispatch lead time.

Key Responsibilities :-

1. Production Planning and On-Time Delivery

• Prepare monthly production and dispatch plans based on confirmed customer orders in coordination with Sales and the Plant Head.
• Monitor open customer orders and track committed delivery dates.
• Identify potential delays at least two weeks in advance and initiate corrective actions.
• Conduct daily shop-floor reviews and weekly plan-versus-actual meetings.
• Reprioritise production activities based on material availability, customer priorities and delivery commitments.
• Coordinate with Sales before communicating revised delivery dates to customers.

2. SAP Business One (SAP B1) and MIS

• Create, monitor and close Production Orders (MOs) within the defined timelines.
• Process production material issues and receipts accurately in SAP B1.
• Raise purchase requisitions based on MRP, production plans and material requirements.
• Ensure timely posting of Goods Receipt Notes (GRNs), inventory transfers and stock adjustments.
• Maintain accurate Bills of Materials (BOMs), routings and item master data in coordination with Engineering.
• Reconcile SAP inventory with physical stock and ensure timely closure of transactions at month-end.
• Prepare daily and weekly MIS reports covering order status, production progress, material shortages, WIP, OTD and dispatch performance.

3. Purchase and Supplier Coordination

• Follow up with suppliers for castings, machined components, motors, seals and other bought-out items.
• Track open Purchase Orders against required delivery dates.
• Expedite critical materials and escalate supplier delays with clear recovery plans.
• Coordinate with Purchase and Quality Control teams for incoming material inspection and timely material release.
• Prepare and circulate weekly material shortage reports linked to production orders.

4. Production and Assembly Coordination

• Coordinate with machining, assembly, testing, painting, packing and dispatch teams to ensure smooth workflow.
• Release production and assembly kits based on material availability to minimise incomplete jobs and work interruptions.
• Track Work in Progress (WIP) at each production stage.
• Coordinate final inspection, testing, documentation and dispatch activities.
• Resolve daily production bottlenecks in consultation with shop-floor supervisors.
• Ensure completed orders are dispatched as per the committed schedule.

5. Inventory and Material Planning

• Review available stock, slow-moving stock and non-moving inventory on a monthly basis.
• Utilise available inventory for open customer orders before initiating fresh purchase requisitions.
• Identify opportunities to utilise surplus stock through approved substitutes, alternate builds and standard sub-assemblies.
• Support the development of minimum and maximum stock levels for fast-moving standard components.
• Apply MRP, lead-time planning and inventory classification techniques to improve material availability and reduce lead times.

6. Performance Monitoring and Continuous Improvement

• Monitor monthly production plan achievement and On-Time Delivery (OTD).
• Analyse reasons for delayed orders and implement corrective and preventive actions.
• Track production efficiency, material shortages, WIP and dispatch plan versus actual performance.
• Identify process improvements to reduce manufacturing lead time, inventory holding and delivery delays.
• Drive accountability and coordination across internal departments to meet customer commitments.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

• Monthly production plan achievement.
• On-Time Delivery (OTD) performance.
• Adherence to customer delivery commitments.
• Reduction in order-to-dispatch lead time.
