Job Requirements

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

· Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Operations, Business, Engineering, or a related field; equivalent manufacturing materials experience may be considered.

· Five or more years of progressive experience in materials management, production planning, inventory control, purchasing, or supply chain within a manufacturing environment.

· Demonstrated experience with MRP/ERP systems, inventory transactions, bills of material, routings, item master data, and warehouse controls.

· Strong Excel and data-analysis skills, with the ability to convert inventory and planning data into clear actions and controls.

· Working knowledge of cycle counting, physical inventory, safety-stock methods, SLOB management, and root-cause problem solving.

· Strong communication, organization, and leadership skills, including the ability to drive accountability across functions.

· APICS CPIM or CSCP certification and Lean manufacturing experience are preferred.

KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES

· Maintain inventory accuracy and transaction discipline across raw materials, work-in-process, packaging, and finished goods.

· Own the site's safety-stock methodology and inventory targets, balancing production continuity, customer requirements, lead time, and working capital.

· Lead MRP analysis and exception management to identify shortages, excesses, timing risks, and master-data issues before they disrupt production.

· Optimize inventory levels and material flow across the site and relevant supply-chain partners, including Speed, TPC, Lamart, EIS, and other applicable sources or locations.

· Own the cycle-counting program and facilitate timely resolution of cycle-count variances and recurring root causes.

· Lead SLOB identification and disposition planning, including resale, return, rework, consumption, transfer, or approved write-off pathways.

· Provide clear materials metrics, risks, actions, and financial impacts through the site's operating review process.

RESPONSIBILITIES

· Establish and maintain cycle-count frequencies based on item value, usage, risk, history, and business criticality; monitor completion and accuracy performance.

· Investigate inventory discrepancies by tracing physical movement, system transactions, scrap, rework, production reporting, unit-of-measure conversion, and location controls.

· Coordinate corrective actions for cycle-count and physical-inventory variances with Operations, Shipping, Finance, Quality, and Information Technology as needed.

· Review MRP messages, planned orders, purchase-order coverage, production demand, lead times, lot sizes, minimum order quantities, and inventory availability; escalate constraints with recommended actions.

· Maintain the integrity of materials master data, including lead times, safety stocks, planning parameters, order policies, lot sizes, units of measure, item status, storage locations, and related planning attributes.

· Develop and periodically validate safety-stock levels using demand variability, supplier reliability, replenishment lead time, customer requirements, and production risk.

· Set and manage inventory targets by material class and product family; explain gaps to target and create recovery plans for shortages, overages, and slow-moving inventory.

· Lead cross-functional reviews of SLOB and at-risk inventory; maintain action owners, financial exposure, disposition paths, and target completion dates.

· Support resale or transfer of surplus materials and finished goods when commercially and operationally appropriate, coordinating required Quality, Finance, Commercial, and customer approvals.

· Improve material flow, storage, identification, FIFO controls, staging, and point-of-use replenishment to reduce handling, searching, damage, shortages, and unplanned downtime.

· Partner with Production Planning and Supervisors to align material availability with the manufacturing schedule and communicate constraints before schedule execution.

· Partner with Purchasing and suppliers on shortages, expedites, lead-time changes, delivery performance, and recovery plans.

· Partner with Finance on inventory reconciliation, reserves, month-end controls, annual physical inventory, and disposition accounting.

· Support new-product introductions, engineering changes, product phase-outs, and customer transitions by developing material cut-in, cut-out, and depletion plans.

· Maintain standard work, training, and access controls for inventory transactions; coach employees on accurate receiving, issuing, backflushing, transfers, scrap, returns, and shipment confirmation.

· Lead or support Lean and continuous-improvement activities that reduce inventory, shorten replenishment lead time, improve flow, and increase schedule reliability.

· Ensure materials activities comply with site safety, quality, environmental, housekeeping, and material-handling requirements.

· Develop team capability, clarify responsibilities, and hold direct reports and process owners accountable for timely, accurate execution.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

· Inventory accuracy and cycle-count completion

· Inventory value and days on hand versus target

· Stockouts, production interruptions, and material-related schedule attainment

· SLOB value, aging, reserve exposure, and disposition progress

· Supplier delivery and shortage recovery performance

· MRP exception closure and master-data accuracy

· Premium freight, expedites, and avoidable material-handling cost

Compensation:

+ + $101,621.00 - $ 127,026.00 /annual
