Position Overview
The ERP Material Control Lead owns the ERP Material Control function end-to-end, serving as the critical bridge between Engineering BOMs and the systems Procurement, Supply Chain, and Manufacturing execute against. The Lead is accountable for BOM/ERP data integrity in both Arizona and Buffalo. This role manages the ERP Material Control Coordinator and provides technical direction and training.
Key Responsibilities
BOM Lifecycle & Data Integrity
- Own MBOM readiness review and PBOM creation/maintenance for all active programs (20+ across Phoenix and Buffalo)
- Reconcile EBOM and MBOM on release; build the indented manufacturing structure required for the ERP
- Own initial ERP item setup, BOM upload, and demand creation; prevent duplicate item creation through system record review
- Maintain ongoing alignment between the working BOM, PBOM, and ERP as designs mature part substitutions, additions, removals, ECN/ECR changes
- Manage demand adjustments as quantities increase, decrease, or are eliminated
Engineering & Manufacturing Coordination
- Partner with Manufacturing Engineering to validate raw-material requirements for MAKE items, including material type/specification, stock form, size, quantity, and other attributes needed to support accurate purchasing and ERP demand
- Review engineering drawings and BOM structures as needed to validate parent-child relationships, assembly/subassembly hierarchy, quantities, and downstream ERP structure; identify discrepancies and route technical questions back to the appropriate Engineering or Manufacturing Engineering owner
- Serve as the point of coordination across Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Procurement, Supply Chain, IT, and Production for BOM/system questions
- For projects where Procurement must buy ahead of a complete MBOM (e.g., early PO releases), work directly with Design and Manufacturing Engineering to build the interim structure needed to purchase
Process Definition & Continuous Improvement
- Define and document the BOM lifecycle process (Engineering release to MBOM to PBOM to ERP to demand to production handoff) and drive consistent ownership at each stage
- Manage the pre-production-to-production handoff so BOM/system ownership formally transfers to Manufacturing/Production Engineering, rather than remaining with this team indefinitely
- Partner with each sites ERP administrator on system setup, upload mechanics, and process optimization
Team Leadership & Development
- Train and provide technical direction to the ERP Material Control Coordinator
- Set standards and expectations for BOM data quality, accuracy, and process compliance
- Build the Coordinators technical understanding and site-specific ERP proficiency to ensure Buffalo has continuity and a trained second resource
Requirements
Required Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience in ERP systems, supply chain, material planning, BOM management, or manufacturing engineering
- Demonstrated experience creating, managing, and maintaining Bills of Materials (EBOM, MBOM, PBOM) in a manufacturing environment
- Hands-on proficiency with ERP systems (experience with multiple systems preferred) including BOM modules, demand planning, and inventory management
- Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings, product specifications, assembly instructions, and technical documentation
- Strong understanding of manufacturing processes, including fabrication, assembly, subassembly structures, and production workflows
- Experience with change management, including Engineering Change Notices (ECN), Engineering Change Requests (ECR), and revision control
- Demonstrated ability to identify and resolve data discrepancies, quality issues, and system problems under production pressure
- Strong verbal and written communication skills; ability to interact effectively with cross-functional teams across Engineering, Operations, and IT
- Experience training, mentoring, and providing technical direction to junior team members or coordinators
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, Word, Outlook) and data analysis
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with MRPeasy, StartProto, IFS Cloud or similar mid-market ERP platforms
- Experience in a multi-site or matrix manufacturing environment with different ERP systems at different locations
- Background in fabrication, metalworking, assembly operations, or contract manufacturing
- Experience with Production/Product lifecycle management (PLM) or engineering data management systems
- Familiarity with MRP/MPS (Master Production Scheduling) concepts and demand forecasting
- Certification in supply chain management (APICS CSCP, CPIM) or equivalent professional development
- SQL or basic database query experience for data extraction and reporting
