WORK HISTORY
Operations & Industrial Engineering Manager @Concrete Technochem - India
Indore, IN
Running operations for a chemical flooring solutions business serving pharma, food processing, and manufacturing industries. I manage a direct team of 6 and coordinate 30+ on-ground professionals across multi-site projects with budgets in the ₹10–20 Lakh range. Own the full procurement and inventory cycle moved us away from reactive purchasing by building a demand forecasting approach tied to our project pipeline. This reduced material waste by 28% and cut inventory holding costs by 22% mostly by stopping over-ordering that was quietly draining cash. Bridge between procurement, R&D, production, and clients, I\'m the person who makes sure what\'s promised commercially can actually be delivered on the ground. Tighter cross-functional alignment pushed our project success rate up by 12% and noticeably improved how clients experience delivery. Track operations through weekly KPIs monitor project health, flag cost overruns early, and drive continuous improvement across teams. Tightening our quality checkpoints brought rework down by 20% on repeat project types. Restructured how we plan and execute projects workflows were fragmented when I stepped in; rebuilt how tasks are assigned, tracked, and handed over, making turnarounds more predictable. Working on our first structured machinery investment plan mapping equipment needs, running ROI estimates, and building it into a business case for sustainable growth. Improving on-site process consistency especially on pharma and food-grade floors where precision is non-negotiable. Actively applying Lean thinking to reduce wait time between application stages.

ABOUT VIGHNESH NAMBIAR
I\'m a Manufacturing and Industrial Engineering professional with 6+ years of experience across automotive, industrial automation, and operations environments in India and Sweden — from truck assembly at Scania and vacuum technology at Piab, to now running end-to-end operations for a chemical flooring business serving pharma, food, and manufacturing clients across India.My career has been built on one consistent thread: walking into complex production environments, understanding how things actually work on the ground, and finding ways to make them work better. Sometimes that\'s been a factory layout study, sometimes a packaging redesign nobody asked for, sometimes restructuring how a 30-person team plans and executes projects.At Scania, I led the EV powertrain integration project — bringing new technology into a live production line with minimal disruption. At Piab, I spotted inefficiencies in packaging that nobody had prioritised and took it on as my own initiative, reducing package count by 20% and cutting logistics costs by 15%. At Concrete Technochem, I own the full operation — procurement, project delivery, team management and business planning across multi-site projects. I bring hands-on experience in Lean, Kaizen, PFMEA/DFMEA, NPI, capacity planning, and KPI-driven performance management, with a practical approach to solving manufacturing challenges across cross-functional environments.I hold a Master\'s degree in Production Engineering & Management from KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden, and a Bachelor\'s in Mechanical Engineering — a combination that\'s helped me connect shop floor reality with structured engineering thinking throughout my career.Based in Indore and open to conversations around operations, industrial engineering, and project leadership roles in India or internationally.
