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.

Competency Requirements

Technical/Functional

• Strong experience in material planning and procurement across multiple categories:

Castings & Forgings

Electrical & Proprietary

Press & Fabrication

Polymers & Elastomers (Plastic & Rubber parts)

• Hands‑on knowledge of SAP MM & PP modules (Mandatory).

• Exposure to JIT, TPM, and advanced material planning concepts.

• Inventory control, stores management, and cost control expertise.

• Ability to manage high‑mix, multi‑category manufacturing environments.

EV‑Related:

• Exposure to Electrical & Proprietary - 2W Electric Vehicle or EV manufacturing environments.

• Experience supporting new EV model launches, pilot builds, or ramp‑ups.

• Understanding of EV supplier ecosystem and localization challenges.
