Materials Analyst
Oshkosh Defense stands behind those who dedicate their lives to protecting others. As an industry-leading tactical vehicle manufacturer, every day we strive to meet or exceed our customers' ever-changing needs with next generation defense technologies and advanced systems. We operate with unparalleled commitment to those who depend on our products and services worldwide to perform their missions. The Materials Analyst will support the development, standardization, advancement and implementation of a lean enterprise material flow strategy. This role will utilize advanced analytical skills to identify opportunities and develop solutions that result in optimal material flow at the lowest total landed cost. The Materials Analyst will identify opportunities and align efforts cross functionally to maximize the ROI associated with lean material flow initiatives, returnable container implementations, logistics route engineering and shortage mitigation. *We have 2 openings for this opportunity. One at North Plant and one at South Plant. Your Impact
Lead development and deployment of cross-functional strategic initiatives to reduce costs in the supply chain by removing wastes. Lead project teams through to completion. Ensure project schedule attainment, KPI targets and executive report outs of project status. Support standardization, advancement and implementation of a lean enterprise material flow strategy. Scope includes but not limited: KPIs, PFEP, replenishment systems, WMS, inventory control, production scheduling and IT support systems. Update critical ERP system parameters to align with the optimal material strategy in conjunction with Plan for Every Part (PFEP) process. Maintain required documentation outside the ERP system as necessary to support ongoing monitoring and change management. Support measurable improvement in parts shortages due to poor production and materials planning, inventory errors and damage within the facilities. Resolve problem utilizing acquired knowledge and analytical abilities. Compile data from ERP systems, spreadsheet, and other sources to support decision-making in conjunction with the Plan for Every Part process. Forecast workload based on demand projections. Leverage shop-floor lean material flow implementation experience to lead and support projects focused on synchronization of material consumption with production, maximizing efficiency of material conveyance routes and optimal materials presentation to the point of use. Significantly reduce excess material handling inside facilities, between facilities and to and from local suppliers through extensive value stream analysis and application of PFEP principles.
