Job Purpose

To lead the Quality Control function for the house wire manufacturing plant and ensure consistent product quality, process compliance, customer satisfaction, and adherence to applicable BIS/Indian Standards. The role will oversee incoming material, in-process, final testing, laboratory operations, quality systems, and continuous improvement.

For PVC household wiring, key quality parameters include conductor resistance, insulation thickness, insulation resistance, high-voltage/spark testing, mechanical properties, dimensions, and applicable fire-performance tests.

Key Responsibilities

1. Quality Control & Assurance

• Lead overall QC activities across the wire manufacturing plant.
• Establish and monitor quality standards for raw materials, processes, and finished products.
• Ensure compliance with approved specifications, drawings, SOPs, control plans, and customer requirements.
• Monitor quality at all stages from wire drawing annealing bunching/stranding PVC extrusion printing coiling packing & dispatch.
• Identify quality deviations and ensure timely corrective and preventive actions.

2. Incoming Material Quality

• Control quality of copper, PVC compounds, additives, master batches and other incoming materials.
• Establish inspection standards and sampling plans for incoming materials.
• Coordinate with Purchase and suppliers for quality-related issues and supplier improvement.
• Monitor supplier rejection, quality trends and supplier CAPA.

3. In-Process & Final Inspection

• Monitor conductor diameter, resistance, elongation, tensile strength and other applicable parameters.
• Ensure insulation thickness, overall diameter, colour, surface finish and printing/marking are within specification.
• Monitor extrusion process parameters and identify defects such as pinholes, eccentricity, poor surface finish and insulation variation.
• Ensure final cable testing and release is completed before dispatch.

4. Laboratory & Testing

• Manage the plant quality laboratory and ensure availability of required testing facilities.
• Ensure calibration and periodic verification of testing equipment.
• Maintain test reports, inspection records and calibration records.
• Ensure testing is carried out as per applicable BIS/IS requirements and approved test procedures. BIS documentation specifically requires suitable laboratory facilities, calibrated instruments and maintenance of test/inspection records.

5. BIS / Compliance

• Ensure product compliance with applicable BIS and Indian Standards, particularly IS 694 for PVC insulated cables/wires.
• Coordinate BIS inspections, audits, testing and documentation.
• Maintain all records required for BIS certification and plant quality compliance.
• Ensure appropriate product identification, marking and traceability.

6. Quality Improvement

• Analyse rejection, rework, customer complaints and process deviations.
• Conduct Root Cause Analysis, CAPA, 5 Why, Fishbone and Pareto analysis.
• Drive reduction in rejection, rework, scrap and customer complaints.
• Implement SPC, process capability and other statistical quality-control techniques where applicable.

7. Customer Complaints

• Lead investigation of customer complaints and field quality issues.
• Coordinate with Production, R&D, Sales and Service teams for complaint resolution.
• Prepare 8D/CAPA reports and ensure closure within agreed timelines.
• Track recurring complaints and implement preventive measures.

8. Team Management

• Lead and develop the QC team, including QC Engineers, Inspectors, Lab Technicians and Supervisors.
• Allocate responsibilities and monitor shift-wise quality activities.
• Conduct training on quality standards, testing procedures, inspection methods and safety.
• Build a strong quality culture across the plant.

9. MIS & Reporting

• Prepare daily/weekly/monthly quality reports.
• Monitor key quality KPIs such as:
• Internal rejection %
• Rework %
• Scrap %
• Customer complaints
• Supplier rejection
• First Pass Yield
• Cost of Poor Quality
• CAPA closure
• Process deviations
• Present quality performance and improvement plans to Plant Management.
