Job Purpose
The Industrial Engineer owns plant-area Industrial Engineering for Group Bayport’s cutting and sorting operations, Logistics, Stores and Aluminium Hardware fabrication, and reports to the Sr. Manager – Industrial Engineering.
The role delivers time and motion studies, line balancing, layout improvement and scrap containment for these areas. It is also the primary shop-floor partner as CNC and cutting-related automation is commissioned.
Key Responsibilities
1. Time & Motion Studies
- Conduct time studies (SAM / MOST / stopwatch) on manual and CNC cutting operations, Logistics, Stores, and Aluminium Hardware cutting and bending.
- Validate area process times against field data before they are proposed as standard, and feed signed-off entries into the Departmental SAM Catalog.
- Set and maintain Takt Time for cutting, Logistics, Stores and hardware lines against current demand.
2. Layout, Flow & Line Balancing
- Map material delivery routes from fabric and foam rolls through to the cutting tables; identify and remove flow bottlenecks.
- Balance manning and workstation layout on cutting and hardware lines against Takt Time.
- Execute SMED / quick-changeover initiatives on cutting equipment, roll change and hardware tooling, as directed by the Sr. Manager – IE.
3. Scrap Containment & Visual Management
- Own the nesting and cutting scrap KPI for the area; implement and maintain scrap tracking boards at each cutting station.
- Introduce Poka-Yoke (mistake-proofing) where scrap is systemic rather than one-off.
- Implement hourly production tracking boards for the area, in coordination with the BPM Team.
4. Automation Partnership
- Act as the shop-floor point of contact for CNC and laser-cutting automation projects owned by the Manager, Automation & Business Analyst.
- Validate manual-vs-automated cycle time and scrap assumptions before and after commissioning, and feed post-commissioning variance data back into the automation portfolio’s tracking.
5. BOM & Cross-Functional Support
- Support the MDM Team on BOM-linked time measurement (crew size, labour and machine calculation) for cutting and hardware SKUs.
- Coordinate with the peer Industrial Engineer (BB, Tarps & Stores), and escalate capacity-impacting findings to the Sr. Manager – IE and the Manager – Global Capacity.
Qualifications & Experience
The role needs an engineering diploma or degree plus 3–8 years of apparel manufacturing experience.
Essential
- Diploma or B.E. / B.Tech in Industrial, Apparel, Textile, Mechanical or Production Engineering.
- 3–8 years of experience in apparel manufacturing.
- Working knowledge of time and motion study methods (SAM / MOST / stopwatch).
- Comfortable working across the production floor.
- Working proficiency in Excel.
Preferred
- Exposure to stitching, signage, print or banner production operations.
Skills & Competencies
- Shop-floor first: a hands-on problem solver who is comfortable working directly on the floor.
- Layout and flow: organised, with a strong eye for layout and material flow.
- Data discipline: accurate, disciplined data collection; time studies are run to a standard, not an approximation.
- Collaboration: works cleanly with the Sr. Manager – IE, the peer plant-area IE, the MDM Team and the BPM Team.
Key Performance Indicators
Performance is measured on four outcomes.
| SAM validation | SAM entries validated against the Sr. Manager – IE’s overall plan |
| Takt Time adherence | Adherence to Takt Time on production lines |
| Stores performance | Stores inventory accuracy and improvement in put-away-to-pick cycle time |
| Tracking board roll-out | On-time delivery of production tracking board roll-out for the area |
Compensation
The CTC band is ₹4,00,000 – ₹7,00,000 per annum, positioned by years of relevant experience and demonstrated hands-on IE skill.
- Entry-level candidates (about 3 years) sit toward the lower end of the band.
- Experienced candidates (about 8 years) sit toward the upper end.
- Final placement is confirmed by HR.
