Key responsibilities

1\. Order intake and feasibility

Review every enquiry and order for size (OD × WT × length), grade, specification(ASTM A106/A53/A179/A192/A213, DIN 2391, EN 10305, IS 1161/3589 etc.), tolerances anddelivery date before Sales confirms.

Experience \-Minimum 2 years in PPC

Check feasibility against mill limits: piercing range, sizing mill reduction capability,drawbench pass schedule and maximum area reduction per grade.

Commit delivery dates in writing, based on actual mill load and billet availability, not onSales targets.

2\. Planning and scheduling

Prepare the monthly production plan, weekly rolling programme and daily shift\-wiseschedule for piercing, sizing and cold drawing.

Sequence campaigns by grade, billet diameter and OD group to minimise roll changes,plug/mandrel changes and induction heater re\-settings.

Group sizes on the 14\-stand vs 21\-stand mills to balance load and avoid unnecessarystand changes.

Plan draw routes (number of passes, intermediate annealing, pickling/phosphating)with Production and QA for each cold\-drawn order.

Re\-plan within 2 hours of any breakdown, rejection or urgent order, and publish therevised schedule.

3\. Material planning (billets and consumables)

Calculate billet requirement per order using yield factors (cutting loss, piercing crop,sizing crop, drawing scrap, rejections) by size and grade.

Raise billet indents to Procurement with grade, diameter, chemistry and deliveryschedule; track supplier deliveries (RINL and others) against the rolling plan.

Maintain heat\-wise billet traceability from receipt to finished tube.

Plan rolls, plugs, mandrels, dies, guide shoes, lubricants and pickling chemicals withStores and Maintenance so no campaign stops for tooling.

4\. Production control and WIP

Track actual vs plan by shift: tonnage, pieces, yield, rejections and downtime by stage.

Control WIP between hot mill, pickling, drawbench, heat treatment and finishing; flagany lot idle beyond its allowed time.

Run a daily 15\-minute production review with shift in\-charges, QA and Maintenance;record actions and owners.

Coordinate preventive maintenance windows with Maintenance so they sit inside therolling plan.

5\. Quality and traceability coordination

Ensure every lot carries heat number, grade, size and route card through each stage.

Publish daily, weekly and monthly MIS: production, yield, mill utilisation, OTIF, WIP,finished stock and slow\-moving inventory.

Provide Accounts with size\-wise and grade\-wise yield and conversion data for productcosting.

Manage finished\-goods and semi\-finished (hollow) stock; propose disposal of non\-moving stock.

8\. Team and improvement

Lead and train the PPC team; set shift\-wise responsibilities.

Drive projects on changeover reduction, yield improvement and lead\-time reductionwith Production.

Decision authority

PPC owns the schedule; Production owns how it is executed. Any deviation from thepublished schedule needs PPC sign\-off, or Plant Head approval if PPC and Productiondisagree.

The role is judged on seven numbers, reviewed monthly; targets are set after a 3\-monthbaseline from current plant data.
