• Conduct outgoing quality inspection of finished goods before dispatch, ensuring conformity to specifications and hallmarking standards

• Maintain quality records, inspection reports, and non-conformance/rejection logs

• Drive root-cause analysis and corrective action for quality issues linked to storage, handling, or vendor/job-work output

• Ensure proper packaging standards are followed to prevent damage, tarnishing, or contamination during storage and transit

• Ensure timely delivery to customers/distributors in line with production schedules

Planning & Coordination

• Align material flow and dispatch plans with production schedules and sales forecasts

Compliance & Risk Management

• Maintain documentation for statutory, quality, and financial audits

• Manage risk related to theft, material loss, quality deviations, and in-transit security

Cost & Reporting

• Prepare MIS reports on stock position, quality metrics, dispatch performance, and cost trends

• Support budgeting for inventory holding, logistics, and QA operations
