Administration Manager

Job Description : Plymill Plant Administration Manager NIGERIA Plywood production forecasting by product type and hence consumables consumption, vs. stock and delivery periods (to ensure we don't run out of stock but keep working capital tight). In the early phase, there will be quite a bit of change in consumables as we experiment with different formulas based on species types, environmental conditions during production, and market requirements. Thus, there is a big need for adequate ply milling experience (we need someone with >10 years). Overseeing plywood consumables sourcing, conformance with specification, and delivery (working with your central procurement team - but providing the technical knowledge to ensure consistency). Claims management (we will receive a defective product and the claim needs to thus be managed professionally to maximize success). Spare parts and maintenance: In the early days particularly, we may go through spare parts quickly, thus the stock and spares replenishment considering shipping times needs to be well managed (noting we have over 10,000 spare parts items in the plymill). Thus, the Plymill Plant Administration Manager will have a Store Manager under him who we have already recruited (as this person also needs to have >10 yrs experience in plymilling else they don't have enough parts or consumables knowledge). Production data management: We need to track production by line and section and implement adequate performance incentives (carrot and stick) which need to be well recorded and documented (working closely with HR who then runs the associated payroll and manages communications and disciplinaries). We also need to record breakdowns by machine and associated costs so we understand defective machines or operators. S&OP: Later as sales ramp up the Plymill Plant Administration Manager will have to have involvement in the S&OP planning, arranging, and managing the production queue based on input restrictions and market product demand at the highest margin. He will have to support the finance team in product costing so we understand margin by product type. He will have to oversee dispatch to market and the logistics around this. He will also have to manage customer claims.
