Manufacturing Inventory Manager information

What does a manufacturing inventory manager do?

A Manufacturing Inventory Manager oversees the storage, tracking, and movement of materials and finished goods within a manufacturing facility. They ensure that inventory levels are maintained to meet production demands without overstocking or understocking. Their responsibilities typically include monitoring inventory accuracy, coordinating with procurement and production teams, implementing inventory control systems, and conducting regular audits. By optimizing inventory processes, they help reduce costs and improve efficiency throughout the manufacturing process.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a manufacturing inventory manager?

To thrive as a Manufacturing Inventory Manager, you need expertise in inventory management, supply chain processes, and data analysis, often supported by a degree in business, logistics, or a related field. Familiarity with ERP systems, inventory tracking software, and certifications such as APICS CPIM are highly valued. Strong organizational, problem-solving, and communication skills help manage teams and coordinate with suppliers effectively. These skills and qualifications ensure efficient inventory control, minimize production delays, and optimize operational costs.

How does a manufacturing inventory manager typically collaborate with production and procurement teams to ensure smooth operations?

A Manufacturing Inventory Manager works closely with both production and procurement teams to maintain optimal inventory levels and prevent production delays. This involves regular coordination meetings, sharing real-time inventory data, and forecasting material needs based on production schedules. By proactively communicating about shortages or overstock situations, the Inventory Manager helps streamline the supply chain and supports just-in-time manufacturing processes. Effective collaboration ensures that materials are available when needed, reducing downtime and improving overall efficiency.

The Manufacturing Inventory Manager primarily oversees inventory levels and supply chain logistics, ensuring materials are available for production.

Job description

Your system is solid. Your instincts are sharp. But no one listens, until it's too late. Ready for a place that actually trusts you to lead?
You're constantly two steps ahead, but you're the last person they ask. You know when stock will run short. You know the workaround. You know the fix. But leadership only listens when the floor's on fire. We built Wisenbaker around operators who think like owners. Here, inventory is strategic. If you've got the brains and experience to run it, we give you the support and the room to lead.
Your Mission:
Take full ownership of our inventory process. That means managing accuracy, forecasting demand, reducing waste, and leading your team like a well-oiled machine. This role requires someone who's run inventory in a fast-paced manufacturing environment. If you're still learning the ropes, you'll want to keep us on your radar
Your Responsibilities (If You're Good Enough to Take It):


Own the entire inventory lifecycle - no babysitting needed
Keep stock accurate through smart systems, spot checks, and usage analysis
Forecast what's coming so we're never short, and never overstocked
Be the bridge between purchasing and production - timing is everything
Use our ERP (and your brain) to find waste, cut it, and speed things up
Mentor your inventory control team and build a culture of pride and precision
Recommend changes, own the process, and drive measurable improvements
What We're Looking For (Let's Be Honest):
Degree in Supply Chain, Logistics, or equivalent experience
3-5+ years of manufacturing inventory management (cabinet industry = huge bonus)
1-2+ years leading people or processes - we need a driver, not a passenger
ERP experience a must (NetSuite, Epicor, SAP, etc.)
Excel wizardry (pivot tables, VLOOKUPs, inventory audits, the whole deal).
Familiarity with Lean, Six Sigma, or CI methods - or just really good common sense
About The Company

But we're more than materials, we're a people-powered operation where hard work is noticed, growth is real, and leadership leads. If you're ready to be part of something built to last, welcome to Wisenbaker.
