Job Description & How to Apply Below
Kimirica Hunter International is building out its Business Excellence function — covering Operational Excellence, Quality, Process Governance, and continuous improvement across the Wet and Dry Plants. We're looking for a Junior Executive to support the OE Lead in driving hands-on improvement work: time studies, 6S, Kaizen, KPI tracking, and process documentation. This is a strong role for someone early in their career who wants direct, high-visibility exposure to how a manufacturing business actually runs — not a desk-only analytics role.
Key Responsibilities
Operational Excellence Execution
- Support MOST / work-measurement studies and standard time documentation across production and warehouse operations
- Drive 6S implementation and audits across assigned zones
- Coordinate Kaizen submissions on the digital portal — track status, follow up with initiators and HODs, support closure
- Assist with RCA & CAPA investigations for quality and process deviations
KPI & Performance Tracking
- Maintain and update departmental KPI trackers (OTIF, productivity, PM compliance, etc.)
- Prepare data and slides for monthly Business Excellence Reviews
- Support preventive maintenance schedule tracking and plan-vs-actual reporting
Process & Documentation
- Support SOP drafting and standardization in coordination with department HODs
- Maintain accurate records for ongoing OE projects (SKU rationalisation, material aging, warehouse slotting, etc.)
- Assist in preparing reports, trackers and presentations for leadership reviews
Qualifications & Experience
- Bachelor's degree in Engineering (Industrial / Mechanical / Production preferred); a certification or coursework in Lean Six Sigma (Yellow/Green Belt) is a plus
- 1–2 years of experience in a manufacturing, FMCG, or industrial operations environment
- Prior exposure to Lean tools (5S/6S, Kaizen, time & motion study) preferred but not mandatory — willingness to learn matters more than prior certification
- Comfortable working on the shop floor as well as at a desk — this role splits time between both
Skills & Attributes
Analytical & Data Handling
Strong working knowledge of Excel (pivot tables, formulas); comfort with data entry, tracking and basic analysis
Communication
Able to coordinate with cross-functional teams and shop-floor staff; clear written documentation
Ownership
Follows through on tracker updates and action items without repeated reminders
Structured Thinking
Can break down a problem into root causes rather than jumping to fixes
Learning Orientation
Genuine interest in Lean / Six Sigma / process improvement as a career direction
What Success Looks Like in the First 6 Months
- Independently runs a 6S audit cycle and closes findings with area owners
- Owns the Kaizen portal tracker end-to-end — submissions logged, followed up, and closed on time
- Completes at least one MOST time study independently, reviewed and signed off by the OE Lead
- KPI trackers are accurate and updated without prompting ahead of the monthly review
Why Join This Team
This is a ground-floor opportunity to grow with a newly established Business Excellence function, working directly under the OE Lead with real exposure to plant operations, cross-functional projects, and leadership reviews. Strong performers will have a clear path to owning larger OE work streams as the team scales
