Investigate shortages or misallocations and implement corrective actions.

Maintain item masters, BOMs, routings, and location data.
Produce dashboards and reports for yields, scrap, variances, and key KPIs.
Identify recurring data or process issues and implement corrective actions.

Provide coaching, performance feedback, and cross‑training.
Promote a culture of accuracy, accountability, and continuous improvement.
Experience & Requirements

Proficiency with ERP/MRP systems (Salesforce preferred) and advanced Excel skills.
Understanding of inventory control best practices, production workflows, and yield analysis.
Ability to work in cold environments (coolers/freezers).
