This individual will establish and enforce the standards, policies, and procedures that ensure BOM accuracy, product costing integrity, and process consistency across all North America facilities. A critical nuance of this role is that OSI maintains two parallel sets of bills of material. The first is owned by R&D and Operations and is managed through SAP Product Lifecycle Management (PLM), reflecting the product specification and formulation view.

The second is the finance BOM, owned by Finance and Operations Accounting, which drives standard costing. The Costing Manager must develop a deep understanding of both BOM sets, how they relate to each other, and where differences exist. This individual is responsible for ensuring that changes in the R&D/Operations BOM are appropriately reflected in the finance BOM, and that both remain accurate and aligned.

This requires careful coordination, strong attention to detail, and the judgment to know when a change in one BOM necessitates an update in the other. The Costing Manager must bring strong critical thinking skills to evaluate costing assumptions, challenge inconsistencies, and independently assess whether a BOM accurately reflects the manufacturing reality at each facility. The role requires the judgment to ask the right questions, identify gaps that others may overlook, and make informed recommendations.
