Department Head
ROLE SUMMARY
Own the health and availability of every machine and utility in the factory. Keep the plant running beam saws,
edge banders, CNC, and all supporting utilities by driving preventive and predictive maintenance, fast breakdown
recovery, and disciplined spares management, so production never stops for want of a working machine.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Machine uptime: own overall equipment availability across all units; minimise unplanned breakdown
downtime and drive uptime to target.
Preventive maintenance: build and enforce the PM calendar for every machine (beam saw, edge banding,
CNC, drilling, pressing, dust extraction); no PM slippage.
¢ Breakdown response: run a fast, structured breakdown-response system; line incharges escalate to
Maintenance and expect rapid recovery with root-cause capture.
¢ Predictive & condition monitoring: introduce condition-based checks (vibration, thermal, wear) on critical
machines to catch failures before they happen.
¢ Spares management: define and stock critical spares; maintain min-max levels and a clean spares register;
eliminate downtime waiting for parts.
¢ OEM / AMC vendor management: manage OEM and AMC contracts for imported and local machinery;
hold vendors to service SLAs.
¢ Utilities: ensure reliable compressed air, power, and dust-extraction; manage DG / power back-up and
energy efficiency.
¢ Safety & compliance: enforce electrical and machine safety, LOTO, and statutory compliance (Karnataka
OSH); zero maintenance-related safety incidents.
¢ CAPEX & upgrades: provide technical inputs on machine replacement, capacity upgrades, and new-
machine commissioning.
¢ Team & cost: lead, roster, and skill the technician team; control the maintenance budget without
compromising uptime.
SKILLS & REQUIREMENTS
¢ Qualification: Diploma / B.E. in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering.
¢ Experience: 1015 years in plant maintenance, ideally in modular furniture / panel / woodworking or
process manufacturing, with hands-on exposure to Homag / Biesse / SCM / IMA-class machinery.
¢ Technical: strong on mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, and PLC-based systems; preventive/predictive
maintenance methods; spares planning.
¢ Leadership: has run a multi-technician team across shifts; can build systems and discipline, not just react to
breakdowns.
¢ Behavioural: ownership mindset, cost-conscious, safety-first, calm under breakdown pressure.
KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS
Measured on: Machine uptime / availability % • MTBF (mean time between failures) and MTTR (mean time
to repair) • Unplanned breakdown downtime (hours) • PM schedule adherence % • Critical spares
availability % • Maintenance cost vs budget • Maintenance-related safety incidents (target: zero)
