  • Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Partner with procurement to resolve supplier issues and improve lead times.
  • Coordinate with production teams to ensure materials are staged and available for released work orders.
  • Work closely with logistics and warehouse teams to improve flow of goods.
  • Support continuous improvement initiatives related to planning, scheduling, and inventory control.
  • Qualifications

  • 3+ years of experience in material planning, inventory control, or related supply chain function.
  • Hands-on experience with Oracle ERP (or similar enterprise system) in material planning and work order management.
  • Strong knowledge of MRP / ERP systems and inventory management principles.
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and data analysis tools.
  • Excellent organizational skills, attention to detail, and problem-solving ability.
  • Strong communication skills to work effectively across teams and with external suppliers.
  • Preferred Qualifications

  • APICS / CPIM or similar supply chain certification.
  • Experience in manufacturing or assembly operations.
