Job Role & Responsibilities

Role:  PPC Manager – Manufacturing Operations (2W EV) 

Operational Responsibilities: 

• Lead production planning, scheduling, and material availability to meet daily and monthly production targets for 2W EV production. 

• Plan and regulate product mix using Runner–Repeater–Stranger logic and share rolling production plans with stakeholders. 

• Ensure smooth material flow from suppliers to point‑of‑use while maintaining optimum inventory levels. 

• Develop long‑term demand and capacity planning models aligned with supplier capability and EV ramp‑up plans. 

• Manage BOM accuracy and material consumption for correct accounting, especially in engineering‑intensive EV programs. 

• Identify supply chain risks (domestic/global, internal/external) and execute mitigation plans for critical EV parts. 

Cross‑Functional & Change Management: 

• Coordinate with Purchase, Production, Engineering, Program Management, Quality, ME, and Finance for execution of EV production plans. 

• Support new model introduction, pilot builds, SOP ramp‑ups, and engineering changes for 2W EV platforms with zero non‑moving inventory. 

• Track and implement ECR/ECN as per defined timelines, ensuring controlled phase‑in / phase‑out of parts. 

Inventory, Cost & Commercial Control: 

• Minimize excess, obsolete, and slow‑moving inventory, with focus on high‑value EV components. 

• Ensure PPC financial indices are within targets through adherence to SOPs and discipline. 

• Coordinate with Purchase and Finance for PO releases, logistics, and commercial resolution. 

• Drive initiatives for reduction in component, logistics, packaging, and transportation cost. 

Digitalization & Process Improvement: 

• Utilize SAP ERP (MM/PP) for material planning and execution. 

• Implement JIT, E‑Kanban, Milk‑run logistics, and inventory optimization practices suited for low‑volume / high‑variant EV production. 

• Drive digitalization and automation initiatives (Industry 4.0, IoT‑based planning tools) in PPC processes. 

• Benchmark material planning practices with industry best standards and implement improvements. 

Stores & Vendor Management: 

• Oversee store operations and ensure timely material availability at line‑side. 

• Conduct PIV for plant and vendor parts and ensure timely rejection disposal. 

• Drive supplier delivery performance and continuous improvement initiatives, including EV supplier readiness. 

EV‑Specific PPC Responsibilities (2W EV): 

• Manage material planning complexities of EV programs such as frequent engineering changes, short lifecycle parts, and localization transitions. 

• Plan and control materials for EV‑specific assemblies interfacing with battery, power electronics, and thermal systems (non‑cell parts). 

• Coordinate closely with new‑age and developing EV suppliers to support capacity ramp‑up and process stabilization. 

• Ensure material readiness for regulatory and homologation‑driven changes impacting 2W EV models.
