• Proven ability to analyze and improve material flow, inventory management, production logistics, and warehouse operations in a manufacturing setting.
• Experience applying Lean Manufacturing and continuous improvement methodologies, supported by strong analytical, problem-solving, and data-driven decision-making skills.
• Proficiency with ERP systems (SAP preferred), Microsoft Excel, and logistics or manufacturing data analysis tools, alongside the ability to collaborate effectively across multiple functions and influence outcomes.

Preferred experience includes warehouse management systems (WMS), facility layout design, CAD tools, Power BI, simulation software, Lean Six Sigma certifications, and hands‑on involvement with AGVs, AMRs, automation technologies, factory expansions, or smart manufacturing initiatives.
