Process Improvement • Identify bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and recurring failure points in receiving, material transfer, IQC flow, and finished goods export processes. • Lead or participate in continuous improvement initiatives (Lean, Kaizen, or similar methodologies) to optimize throughput within constrained warehouse conditions. • Develop and track KPIs related to material flow (e.g., time-in-IQC, transfer lead times, receiving discrepancy rate, on-time delivery to Production). Team Leadership • Ensures warehouse is properly staffed on all active shifts to support manufacturing effectively. • Facilitates and provides coaching and training to team members to ensure they can perform efficiently their duties • Owns warehouse efficiency and effectiveness KPIs. • Other functions and projects assigned.
