Engineer II - Planning

Inventory & Material Management

• Analyze current inventory levels as per the BOM and transfer available items from free/excess stock to fulfill production orders.
• Release Purchase Requisitions (PR) for non-stock and shortage items.
• Coordinate closely with the SCM team to ensure timely placement of Purchase Orders (POs) aligned with delivery schedules.
• Escalate potential delays to management and facilitate interventions to maintain on-time delivery.

Production Planning & Control

• Create Manufacturing Work Orders (MWO) for Assembly and Sub-Assembly BOMs.
• Release Pick Lists or Material Requisitions (MR) in ERP for issuing materials from stores.
• Follow up with the stores team for kit readiness and launch production as per the defined schedule.
• Prioritize inward materials and coordinate with QC for GRN and inspection to ensure a smooth production flow.
• Monitor and record production progress; escalate any design, capacity, or material shortage issues to the Head of Operations.

Process Optimization & Continuous Improvement

• Implement processes for returning excess items through Component Return Notes (CRN) to optimize inventory utilization.
• Drive continuous improvement by collecting feedback, analyzing performance data, and implementing best practices.
• Identify potential risks (e.g., supplier delays, equipment failures) and develop mitigation and contingency plans.

Coordination & Communication

• Ensure seamless coordination among Project Management, Design, Production, Quality, Testing, and Logistics teams.
• Develop and implement risk management and issue-mitigation strategies.
• Communicate operational changes, risks, and corrective actions to relevant stakeholders effectively and on time.

Root Cause & Corrective Action Management

• Conduct Root Cause Analysis (RCA) to identify underlying issues and define effective corrective actions.
• Develop and execute action plans to address recurring operational challenges.
• Monitor the effectiveness of corrective measures and ensure sustained process improvement.

Dispatch & Logistics

• Close Work Orders, complete draw transactions for assemblies, and move items to FG stock.
• Coordinate with Stores/Logistics for final packing and vehicle booking for dispatch.
• Ensure deliveries meet customer specifications and timelines.
• Circulate dispatch notifications to Finance/Stores for invoice processing.

This Engineer II role focuses on production planning and material readiness for manufacturing operations. The work spans inventory and purchase coordination, production tracking, operational problem-solving, and dispatch support across internal teams.
