Shift Lead

Responsibilities Strategic and Core Activities: - Monitor and verify all shift activities including machine checking, IPQC (dimensional and attribute), FT change, DB change, greaser change, color change, daily machine performance reports, and process parameters. - Implement quality corrections (dimension correction, moisture correction, process parameters) to minimize defects and achieve the target DAFOE. - Ensure all process parameters are maintained during color changes (viscosity, temperature, dip length, dip bath centrality and parallelity, gelatin level). - Check and ensure viscosity norms are maintained whenever there are variations in weight and viscosity. - Monitor process parameters through SCADA and take corrective actions in case of deviations. - Generate and communicate daily shift performance reports to support HOD/Incharge in decision-making. - Ensure 100% SAP entries for dips and downtime during the shift. - Conduct first-off verification during color change, fill correct formats, update color change boards, and verify line clearance as per SOP to ensure FTR. - Coordinate with cross-functional teams (CFT) for color changes, machine tripping, breakdowns, downtime, and regulatory aspects related to cGMP. - Control excess and short production to maintain inventory levels and improve DAFOE/OTDIF. - Communicate leftover dip quantities of running batches to the Gel Room Chemist for planning. - Ensure all necessary materials for the shift are available before shift start. - Communicate quality status to the team to maintain consistent quality. - Execute uncut camera/laser sensor teaching during color changes. - Ensure proper shift handover and takeover. - Handle observation audits during the shift. - Conduct daily shift opening meetings with the team for planning and task allocation. - Review and verify all shift documents for accuracy and compliance. - Plan and conduct training for operators on GDP. - Ensure all associates are trained on GMP and Data Integrity (DI) policies. - Ensure adherence to safety, environmental, and quality standards (ISO 14001:2015, ISO 45001:2018, cGMP, TPM, and statutory compliances).
