Plant-Level Leadership Milestones
MY KEY PROFESSIONAL ACHIEVEMENTS
(i)
While working with M/s Acmechem Ltd. (A unit of Finorchem Ltd.):
- Batch Cycle Time (BCT) reduction, increased number of batches from 28-30 No. to 38-40 No. and production enhancement from 65 MT to 95 MT per month with the same number of Reactors/Manpower by replacing the Thermic Fluid Oil with higher temperature range/efficient oil and also fine tuning of some Process parameters, which resulted in a good cost saving @ Rs12 per Kg of a high value Antioxidant Product being manufactured in a particular plant.
- Replaced old Pulverizers & Air Classifying Machines with the advanced and higher capacity Size Reduction Machines.
- Boosted the Plant Production & the Dispatches to 90-95% Plant capacity utilization from a level of 55-60%.
- Enhanced the Productivity and Profitability to 40% higher level through resource optimization and Process Improvements (with the collective team efforts).
- Scored 92-95% (getting placed to “Excellent Category”) marks in the Customer Audits conducted by the prestigious Tyre manufacturers/MNCs (with good national & international fame and substantial market shares). Was highly appreciated by the Top Management, Plant & HO teams- for attaining the said success as a Team Leader.
(ii)
While working with M/s Rathi Rubber India Pvt. Ltd.:
- Set up Turnkey Project for the "Recovered Carbon Black (rCB) enhancement" (for high value addition to the Pyrolysis Carbon, which has a very low Sales value) as a core Team Leader.
- Managed total Project activities in the lead role, followed up with the indigenous & the overseas vendors regularly for the timely delivery of machines/equipment’s resulted in on time project and commissioned for the commercial production successfully.
- After getting the said Recovered Carbon (rCB) Enhancement Plant successfully commissioned in the presence of foreign and indigenous vendors, I as a Team Leader worked rigorously on the Plant Capacity enhancement by incorporating certain Process Improvement/Process Optimization/Fine tuning measures and ultimately succeeded in doubling the Production Capacity- thereby reducing the Energy cost/overall Production Cost drastically and boosting the Profit margins substantially.
- Endorsed as Technical Advisor by the Top Management (for the whole Group), on the basis of my above said initiatives and enormous contributions made for the organizational growth and consistency in Product quality.
(iii)
While working with M/s Royal Carbon Black Pvt. Ltd.:
- Worked on the Batch Cycle Time Reduction by applying certain Process improvement techniques, adding a Bypass Heat Exchanger and subsequently enhancing the Plant Productivity (1.5 times the earlier Plant Capacity) of the Continuous Tyre Pyrolysis Plant- which ultimately resulted into a saving of around Rs 50 Lakhs per month.
- Energy (Mechanical + Electrical + Thermal) savings by incorporating certain tools & techniques and replaced old machines with advanced machines.
- Based on the above two major achievements, the Top Management of the company had assigned the additional charge of another unit (Masterbatch Technologies LLP) and upgraded as the Head - common functions (viz. EHS, HR & Admin, SCM, Electrical/Electronics/Instrumentation) for all the Group units within the same premises (56 Acres of total land area).
(iv)
While working with M/s Continental Carbon India Ltd.:
