Job Title: Supply Chain Coordinator

Job Description

The Inventory Planner supports a high-mix, low-volume production environment by managing the cycle counting process and driving a new kitting program. In this role, you receive material bags from warehouses containing all components technicians need to build products, issue work orders, verify sub-assemblies for accuracy, and organize them into clearly labeled shadow boxes. You work closely with material handlers, planners, engineers, and production technicians to ensure materials are accurate, available, and properly documented. This position is ideal for a curious, self-directed professional who thrives in a highly ambiguous, start-up style environment and wants to help build and improve inventory and production processes from the ground up, with significant opportunities to move into various areas based on skills and career goals.

Responsibilities

• Manage and execute the cycle counting process to maintain accurate inventory records and support production needs.
• Receive material bags from warehouses and verify that all components required for technicians to build products are present and correct.
• Issue work orders accurately and on time, ensuring materials and sub-assemblies are properly tracked and documented.
• Inspect and verify sub-assemblies for accuracy, completeness, and quality before placing them into shadow boxes.
• Organize, label, and maintain shadow boxes so technicians can easily identify and access the components they need.
• Work on the production floor in a high-mix, low-volume environment, collaborating closely with material handlers, planners, engineers, and production technicians.
• Navigate between different functional teams to resolve issues related to materials, kitting, and inventory discrepancies.
• Identify problems in material flow, inventory accuracy, and kitting processes, and propose practical solutions.
• Use strong attention to detail to prevent and correct errors in work orders, inventory counts, and sub-assembly documentation.
• Leverage computer and Excel skills to create forms, track data, and develop new ways to parse and analyze inventory and production information.
• Begin to utilize AI tools to build and improve processes, reports, or data workflows related to inventory and kitting.
• Take initiative to deep dive into issues, understand root causes, and drive continuous improvement in materials control and fulfillment.
• Adapt to changing priorities and a highly ambiguous, start-up style environment, stepping in to help wherever needed on the floor.
• Demonstrate high ownership and a bias for action by proactively addressing gaps in processes and following tasks through to completion.
• Communicate clearly and professionally with cross-functional partners, both verbally and in writing, to ensure alignment on materials and production needs.
• Stand and walk on the production floor for extended periods to monitor inventory, support technicians, and ensure materials are in the right place at the right time.
• Participate in onboarding activities such as facility tours, introductions to MES systems, and hands-on training to quickly learn the role and environment.
• Support a safe, organized, and efficient warehouse-like environment by following established procedures and contributing to process improvements.

Essential Skills

• At least 1 year of experience, with flexibility on experience, in areas such as materials control, inventory, fulfillment, production, manufacturing, customer service, or retail.
• Experience working on or directly supporting a high-mix, low-volume production floor.
• Ability to navigate effectively between material handlers, planners, engineers, and production technicians.
• Strong attention to detail with the ability to spot discrepancies and maintain accurate records.
• Demonstrated problem-solving skills and the ability to perform deep dives into issues.

• Customer service or retail experience that demonstrates strong communication and problem-solving skills.
• Familiarity with SAP, ERP, MES, or MRP systems.
• Ability to use Excel to create new forms, reports, and methods for parsing and analyzing data.
• Interest in and openness to utilizing AI tools to build or enhance processes and workflows.
• Curious mindset with a desire to learn new systems, tools, and processes quickly.
• Comfort working in a start-up phase environment where processes are still being built and refined.
• Desire for growth and the flexibility to move into different areas based on skills and career goals.
