Fashion Merchandiser

About the job:Key Responsibilities:

A. Order Execution & Planning

1. Convert every confirmed order into a purchase order with fabric, trims, and production requirements clearly specified.

2. Plan raw material and trims procurement against the dispatch deadline, not against when production is ready to start.

3. Plan and reserve printing/dyeing and stitching capacity in advance for each order rather than reacting once a bottleneck appears.

B. Cross-Department Coordination

1. Act as the single point of coordination between printing, dyeing, cutting, stitching, and packing, so no order stalls because one department was not informed in time.

2. Flag to Shanaya any risk to a dispatch date as soon as it is identified, not once it is already urgent.

3. Maintain a current, at-a-glance status for every open order, including its current stage, pending requirements, and blockers.

C. Cutting & Stitching Floor Supervision

1. Supervise cutting masters, layer-men, helpers, and stitching karigars.

2. Check layer length and cutting plan before cutting begins to minimise fabric wastage.

3. Maintain karigars' daily production charts.

4. Tally order quantity against cut, printed, stitched, packed, and defective quantity for every order, ensuring every piece is accounted for.

D. Production Cost Tracking

1. Track actual fabric consumption and wastage against the planned average for each style.

2. Flag when actual production cost or time is materially above estimate and identify the reason.

3. Keep the challan/cutting register system accurate and current enough that style-level cost can be pulled from it.

E. Inventory & Stock

1. Supervise fabric-in-stock and finished/ready-made stock.

2. Maintain trims inventory.

3. Flag slow-moving or ageing stock rather than allowing it to remain unrecorded.

F. Documentation & Reporting

1. Maintain cutting reports and purchase/expense challans with correct bill numbers, amounts, and costings, signed off by Shanaya.

2. Prepare shipment packing lists for the buyer and separately for accounts, including cost price, cut quantity, and ship quantity.

3. Attach and file all documents required for dispatch, including invoice, AWB number, and other relevant documents.

G. Quality Control

1. Randomly check stitching quality on the line, not only at final QC.

2. Ensure buyer-specific instructions, including labels, packaging, and measurements, are followed.

3. Get fit/PP samples approved before bulk production starts.

H. Staff Management

1. Enforce instructions and quality standards firmly with cutting masters, karigars, and helpers.
