IL6S Lead – Induri (Pune) Plant

Are You Ready to Make It Happen at Mondelēz International?

Join our Mission to Lead the Future of Snacking. Make It Uniquely Yours.

Role Overview

You play an important role in the department, maintaining systems and performing tasks and activities that support our continuous improvement (CI) processes and culture.

You help with data collection, ensure its accuracy, promote CI progress and keep track of the department KPI scorecards.

How You Will Contribute

• Provide training on CI tools and techniques; help departments follow our established Daily Management System (DMS)

• Help teams collect data or extract it from the system to support CI activities and the DMS

• Facilitate root-cause analysis to address identified losses and departmental KPI scorecard gaps

• Establish new work standards to sustain improvement

• Train and qualify colleagues on CI tools and new work standards resulting from CI activities

What You Will Bring

• CI and high-performance work systems experience

• Strong facilitation and communication skills to support team discussions on CI activities

• Application of Lean and/or TPM tools in a factory or operations environment

• Ability to validate data in manual and automated systems

• Mastery of Excel and other data analytics tools

• Organized and disciplined to support and educate on the DMS process

• Logical and structured thinking to extract insights from data

What This Role Is Really About

• Driving Manufacturing Excellence / IL6S as part of day-to-day factory operations

• Working closely with Plant Leadership, Production, Engineering, Quality, and SCM

• Improving productivity, efficiency, cost, safety, and quality through structured problem-solving

• Embedding standard ways of working (daily management, tier meetings, visual management)

• Building capability and ownership on the shopfloor — not managing improvement from a distance

What Kind of Experience We Are Looking For

• Strong prior experience in manufacturing/factory operations (production, plant operations, manufacturing, maintenance, or operations leadership roles)

• Working knowledge and practical exposure to IL6S / Manufacturing Excellence / Lean / TPM / Continuous Improvement

• Proven ability to drive improvements on the shopfloor, alongside line leaders and operators

• Backgrounds from FMCG, Pharma, Automotive, Chemicals, or large manufacturing setups

Key Note

We are looking for manufacturing leaders with strong, hands-on factory operations experience who have applied or worked with Manufacturing Excellence / IL6S principles as part of their roles.

Deep plant operations exposure is essential; formal IL6S or Manufacturing Excellence titles are valuable but not mandatory, provided there is a solid understanding and practical application of these frameworks on the shopfloor.
