• Ensure raw materials, components, and finished goods are properly managed and available to support production schedules.
• Identify and eliminate bottlenecks impacting material movement throughout the facility.

• Establish clear performance expectations and accountability.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives focused on inventory accuracy, material availability, and operational efficiency.
• Build strong relationships with Operations, Engineering, Quality, Procurement, and Manufacturing teams.
