Manage stocking strategies, safety stock levels, reorder points, inventory turns, and the disposition of excess and obsolete materials.

Ensure material movements and transactions are accurately and promptly recorded in the ERP system to maintain data integrity.

In close collaboration with the Production Planning Manager, support materials-management processes within the ERP/MRP system, including process improvements and implementation support.

Partner with Procurement and Production Planning to communicate priorities, expedite materials, and develop recovery plans for supplier lead-time risks.

Coordinate material requirements for outside processing, new product introductions, engineering changes, and production ramp-ups.

Lead continuous improvement efforts involving material flow, warehouse organization, inventory accuracy, ERP transactions, 5S, visual management, and production readiness.
