Job Summary
Job Description & Skill Requirement:
Duties/Responsibilities
Spend significant time on the manufacturing floor walking the line checking material status and identifying potential flow issues.
Monitor work-in-process (WIP) materials identify jobs at risk due to material issues and expedite inbound/outbound materials accordingly.
Work closely with production supervisors and planners to prioritize job material needs align allocations and escalate when issues arise.
Coordinate with procurement/supply chain for supplier delays shortages expediting special components and maintaining visibility of material lead-times.
Update the ERP/MRP system (or equivalent) with material movement job status and inventory status ensuring accuracy and timely updates.
Maintain accurate inventory records support physical counts and identify discrepancies between system and actual material stock.
Support continuous improvement efforts: suggest and implement improvements in material flow kitting Kanban systems FIFO/FEFO 5S adherence in material storage areas.
Participate in daily/weekly production meetings provide status on material readiness and risk to meet delivery commitments.
Build strong relationships with cross-functional teams (engineering quality production logistics) to drive operational effectiveness.
Adhere to aerospace manufacturing standards quality requirements safety rules and regulatory obligations.
Contribute to continuous improvement projects reducing cycle times eliminating bottlenecks and enhancing throughput.
