Manager - Dyeing

Manage day-to-day dyeing operations on jigger machines for woven fabrics, ensuring production targets are achieved as per the production plan.

Plan and execute dyeing batches based on fabric type, customer requirements, shade specifications, and delivery schedules.

Ensure appropriate selection of dyeing methods and process parameters for different fabrics, including cotton, polyester, viscose, blends, and other applicable materials.

Monitor machine loading, fabric movement, liquor ratio, temperature, pH, dyeing time, and other critical process parameters.

Ensure optimum machine utilization, reduced processing time, and minimum production losses.

Coordinate with pretreatment, colour kitchen, laboratory, finishing, and quality teams for smooth process flow.

Ensure accurate shade matching and reproducibility of approved laboratory dips and bulk dyeing batches.

Monitor shade consistency, levelness, colour fastness, and other required quality parameters.

Troubleshoot shade variation, unlevel dyeing, staining, patchiness, barriness, and other dyeing defects.

Coordinate with the laboratory and quality teams for shade approvals, corrections, and reprocessing decisions.

Establish process controls to minimize shade rejections, re-dyeing, and fabric reprocessing.

Ensure correct execution of approved dyeing recipes, dosing sequences, and chemical additions.

Monitor dye and chemical consumption against approved standards and identify opportunities for cost optimization.

Ensure proper handling, storage, and usage of dyes, auxiliaries, and process chemicals.

Work with the colour kitchen and laboratory teams to improve recipe accuracy and batch-to-batch consistency.
