What You’ll Do

• Collaborate with the Logistics department to improve productivity and ensure timely availability of high-value materials ($10M+ scale).

• Devise methods for improving utilization of materials and oversee daily reconciliations and variance resolution, ensuring production problems or other issues are resolved.

• Lead root cause analysis of discrepancies and implement corrective and preventive actions (CAPA). CAPA is a structured method for identifying, correcting, and preventing quality issues. CAPA helps teams get to the root cause of problems.
