Manager - IN Process

Role Purpose

To ensure product quality during the manufacturing process by monitoring, controlling, and improving in-process parameters. The role focuses on defect prevention, process adherence, and real-time quality assurance to achieve zero-defect production.

Key Responsibilities 1. In-Process Quality Control

• Perform stage-wise inspections across production lines (incoming → assembly → final stages).
• Monitor critical process parameters and ensure adherence to SOPs and control plans.
• Conduct patrol inspection and line audits to identify deviations.
• Approve first-off samples and in-process checkpoints.

2. Defect Identification & Control

• Identify defects at early stages and prevent further propagation.
• Implement containment actions for quality issues on the shop floor.
• Maintain rejection, rework, and defect data.

3. Root Cause Analysis & Problem Solving

• Perform RCA using tools like:
  • Fishbone (Ishikawa)
  • 5 Why Analysis
  • Pareto Analysis
• Drive corrective and preventive actions (CAPA).
• Work closely with production and engineering teams to eliminate recurring issues.

4. Process Quality Assurance

• Ensure adherence to:
  • Control Plans
  • Process Flow
  • Work Instructions
• Validate process changes and engineering modifications.
• Support new product introduction (NPI) and pilot runs.

5. Documentation & Reporting

• Maintain inspection reports, check sheets, and quality logs.
• Track KPIs such as:
  • First Pass Yield (FPY)
  • In-process rejection rate
  • Rework percentage
• Prepare daily/weekly quality reports.

6. Cross-Functional Coordination

• Coordinate with:
  • Production
  • Manufacturing Engineering
  • Supplier Quality
• Support audits (internal / customer / certification).
• Participate in quality improvement initiatives.

7. Compliance & Standards

• Ensure compliance with quality standards like:
  • ISO 9001
  • IATF (if automotive)
• Follow safety and EHS guidelines on the shop floor.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

• Reduction in in-process defects
• First Pass Yield (FPY) improvement
• Closure of CAPA within timeline
• Reduction in rework and scrap
• Process adherence compliance

Qualifications & Experience

• B.E./B.Tech / Diploma (Electrical / Mechanical / Electronics)
• 2–8 years of experience in manufacturing quality / IPQC
• Experience in Battery / BESS / Electrical / Electronics manufacturing preferred
