1. Production Management
● Plan, organise, and control daily production activities to meet quality and delivery timelines.
● Oversee manufacturing of classical and proprietary Ayurvedic formulations such as tablets, capsules, syrups, oils, churnas, and topical products.
● Ensure efficient utilisation of manpower and production lines to maximise throughput.
● Monitor yields, in-process parameters, and production metrics; drive improvements where required.
● Manage batch planning, scheduling, and coordination with stores for raw and packing materials.
2. Quality & Compliance
● Ensure full compliance with GMP, AYUSH/AYuSH guidelines, and regulatory requirements under the Drugs & Cosmetics Act.
● Maintain robust documentation, including Batch Manufacturing Records (BMRs) and SOPs.
