  • Support hiring, onboarding, training, and succession planning.
  • Foster a culture of accountability, teamwork, and continuous improvement.
  • Identify opportunities to improve material flow, reduce waste, and minimize handling damage.
  • Apply Lean manufacturing principles to warehouse and line-side material operations.
  • Track and report KPIs, developing corrective actions for performance gaps.
  • Partner with Procurement and Planning on supplier performance and material readiness.
  • Support engineering change orders (ECOs), new product introductions, and ramp-ups.
