Joydip Chakraborty

Skilled operations professional with more than seven and a half years of experience in Maintenance,

Engineering Services, Projects, and Quality Assurance. Throughout my career I have demonstrated strong

guidelines.

Cell Manager, Supply Chain, British American Tobacco, Bangladesh Aug ‘11 – Sep ‘13

I was one of the five members who transformed a 34 billion factory to the Cell Manufacturing Process

(Overall Equipment Effectiveness), productivity, EH&S, waste, conformance to plan and quality targets.

Jul ‘11

I planned and executed all the maintenance works to up-keep the strategic machines for business

continuity with a team of three Maintenance Engineers and forty skilled Technicians within the Revenue

expenditure budget of 4.5 million USD per annum. An additional responsibility was to lead technical

projects for capacity enhancement (Capital Expenditure Projects).

Production Manager, Supply Chain, British American Tobacco, Bangladesh Jun ‘10 – Dec ‘10

I translated functional plans to shift plan and to execute them with available resources and managed Team

Leaders for optimum performance to deliver the factory KPIs (maximization of productivity and quality

indices and minimization of waste)on time in full with the help of tools like visual communication, time-

motion study, breakdown analysis, and PDCA.

Maintenance Manager, Supply Chain, British American Tobacco, Bangladesh Apr ‘08 – May ‘10

I planned and executed preventive, corrective maintenances and major overhauling timely and effectively

to ensure proper operating condition of the machineries with a pool of technicians and overseas experts of

respective technologies.

Company Projects Engineer, Ceylon Tobacco Company, Sri Lanka Feb ‘09 – Jul ’09 (Short-term

Attachment)

I managed engineering projects (Capital Expenditure) of 5 mln USD effectively and timely within the

assigned budget. Additional responsibilities included management of energy usage and training of

undergraduates to achieve corporate objectives.

Team Leader, Supply Chain, British American Tobacco, Bangladesh Sep ‘06 – Mar ‘08

I managed 120 permanent unionized employees and 60 contractual employees to achieve the business

goals (production, quality, wastage, etc.) in the most effective manner.

Career Highlights

As Quality Services Manager I played instrumental role in launching Quality Awareness Program

as a part of Annual Quality Cycle Plan with tools like Statistical Process Control and House of

Quality.

I successfully led a project on SMED (Single Minute Exchange of Die) to enable quick

changeover from one SKU to another in 2013. The concept was modified to be used in the related

industry and improved changeover time from 74 minutes (2012 average) to 38 minutes (YTD

average 2013) yielding a total savings of 300K USD.

As a Cell Manager I led my cell to contribute to an annual 2.3% increase in OEE (overall

equipment effectiveness) through improvements in productivity which contributed in helping the

function to supply additional 9% volume from the factory in 2012. This made our company the

market leader with 4% gap in the overall national share.
