The Production Manager at Agay Barho specializes in managing the production processes for detergent products, including liquid and powder soaps. This role focuses on transforming laboratory formulations into scalable, high-quality mass-produced products that meet consumer expectations for performance, stability, and cost-effectiveness. The position requires a strong background in detergent formulation, surfactant chemistry, and process engineering to ensure efficient manufacturing operations while upholding rigorous quality standards and regulatory compliance.
In this role, the Production Manager applies expert knowledge of chemical engineering principles to optimize product formulation, oversee process scale-up, and implement quality control measures. Although this position does not involve team management, it demands close collaboration with research and development teams, quality assurance, and regulatory affairs to continuously innovate and maintain sustainable and environmentally responsible product lines. The ideal candidate has at least seven years of relevant experience in detergent production and is skilled in analytical problem-solving and process optimization.
Responsibilities
- Develop and optimize detergent formulations by selecting appropriate surfactants and additives to achieve desired functional properties such as foaming, grease removal, and fabric softening.
- Conduct stability and accelerated aging tests to verify product shelf life and performance across various environmental conditions.
- Scale up laboratory detergent formulations for industrial production, ensuring smooth transition from pilot batches to full-scale manufacturing using specialized equipment like spray-drying towers and high-shear mixing tanks.
- Perform mass and energy balance calculations to enhance production efficiency, reduce material waste, and optimize heat transfer processes.
- Oversee the operation and maintenance of manufacturing equipment including reactors, homogenizers, and automated filling lines to maximize productivity and ensure safety.
- Implement strict quality control procedures by monitoring batch consistency through pH, viscosity, and active matter content tests.
- Ensure compliance with all relevant safety and environmental regulations, including proper handling of hazardous materials and adherence to local and international standards such as REACH.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate sustainable design practices, such as formulating green detergents with plant-based surfactants and reducing plastic packaging through concentrated products.
- Utilize process simulation software and statistical tools to design experiments and analyze production data for continuous improvement.
- Analyze production metrics including batch yield, cost per unit, and innovation pipeline to report on manufacturing performance and identify opportunities for cost reduction and product enhancement.
- Maintain comprehensive documentation of production processes, quality checks, and regulatory compliance records.
- Support research and development initiatives by providing practical insights from manufacturing experiences to refine product formulations and processing techniques.
