• Analyze inventory accuracy, replenishment performance, and material movement data to identify improvement opportunities
• Support barcode, LPN, RFID, and scanning processes to improve traceability and transactional accuracy
• Lead or support continuous improvement initiatives, Kaizen events, and standard work development related to material flow
• Develop and track KPIs related to material availability, line-side inventory accuracy, and replenishment efficiency
• Provide engineering support to warehouse and replenishment teams during peak periods, system changes, or process transitions
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Production, Inventory Control, Quality, Supply Chain, and IT teams
• Support training and change management for new material flow processes, layouts, and systems
