Industry Type: Textile & Apparel (Fashion)
The role of an Industrial Engineer in the sampling unit involves applying engineering
principles to optimize production processes, enhance efficiency, and improve overall
productivity.
- Job Responsibilities :
- Conduct time and motion studies to evaluate the efficiency of sample
production methods. This involves analyzing each step of the sampling
process to identify areas for improvement in terms of time, labor, and
resources required.
- Applying Lean manufacturing principles to reduce waste, improve production
flow, and optimize resource utilization. This might involve implementing
techniques like 5S (Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain), Kanban
systems, or Value Stream Mapping.
- Developing and implementing standardized operating procedures to maintain
consistency, quality, and efficiency in sample production. This ensures that all
processes are performed uniformly and optimally.
- Identifying, evaluating, and implementing advanced machinery, tools, or
technology that can improve the sample production process. This includes
automation or the use of software systems to streamline operations and
reduce manual effort.
- Collaborating with quality control teams to implement quality checks at
different stages of sample production. Ensuring that quality standards are met
and identifying opportunities to enhance product quality.
- Collecting and analyzing production data to measure performance metrics,
such as production output and cycle times and to make informed decisions
and implement improvements using this data .
- Providing training and guidance to sampling unit personnel on efficient work
methods, new technologies, or process improvements to enhance their skills
and productivity.
- Job Context :
- Interaction with other departments.:
The job holder is required to coordinate between the sampling
departments to maintain the efficiency of the overall unit.
- Job Challenges :
- Industrial Engineer plays a critical role in the sampling unit by employing
engineering principles and methodologies to optimize processes, increase
efficiency, reduce costs, and improve the overall quality of sample production.
- Critical Personal/ Professional Qualities
- 8-12 years experience in sampling/ product development.
- Industrial Engineering techniques
- Communication skills
- Planning & organizing
- Leadership qualities
- Data analysis.
