Deputy General Manager

Role Objective / Major Purpose of the Job

Responsible for setting up and running automatic cartoning machines.
Ensure that packed blisters or strips, along with patient leaflets, are smoothly inserted into outer cartons,
glued or tucked, and printed with precise batch details under strict cGMP guidelines.
Principal Tasks & Responsibilities

• Machine Operations: Set up and run automatic high-speed cartoning machines (such as Elmach, Rapid

Pack, ACG, or IMA lines).

• Changeover & Tooling: Change, adjust, and align format parts like carton feeders, leaflet folders (GUK

units), pushers, and bucket conveyors for different box sizes.

• Process Checks: Monitor and adjust machine parameters including carton picking speed, conveyor timing,

leaf-folding alignment, and hot-melt glue temperatures. [

• In-Process Quality Tests: Conduct regular online checks to ensure correct carton tucking/gluing, leaflet

presence, clear batch coding, and correct barcode scanning.

• Daily Production Planning: Execute daily shift schedules provided by the supervisor to achieve immediate

cartoning and packing volume targets.

• Line Clearance: Perform and document complete room and machine line clearance steps prior to starting

any new batch to prevent mix-ups. [1]

• Washing & Cleaning: Clear out residual boxes, rejected leaflets, paper dust, and glue buildup from

sensors, tracks, and suction cups after batch completion.

• Safe Working: Wear mandatory PPE (including hairnets and safety shoes) and safely operate around fast-

moving mechanical pushers and hot-melt glue systems.
