Production Planning Manager

Role & responsibilities. Analyse paddy and finished-rice stock across all plants and warehouses, variety-wise., including stock ageing for aged basmati. Review domestic sales orders and export contracts, and turn them into weekly and monthly production plans for each site. Plan export production around container and shipment schedules, meeting buyer-specific specs such as grain length, broken %, moisture, and packaging. Plan all resources in advance: machines, manpower and shifts, raw material, packaging, power, working capital, and time. Track paddy and raw material stock against the production plan, and flag requirements to management early so no plant stops for lack of material. Coordinate with maintenance to schedule planned shutdowns without disrupting targets. Monitor daily output, milling yield (outturn/head rice recovery), and machine utilisation, and fix bottlenecks quickly. Plan packaging material (brand-wise, private label, export bags) and dispatch logistics so goods move on time. Manage production orders, MRP, and inventory in SAP B1, and prepare MIS reports and dashboards for management. Build contingency plans for urgent export orders, labour shortages, breakdowns, and seasonal changes. Preferred candidate profile. This is a great opportunity to build a career in the SAP PP domain.
