• Control inventory accuracy and participate in cycle counts, implement inventory management best practices and liaise with purchasing for material replenishment.
• Maintain production documentation, update SOPs, prepare production reports and KPIs, and communicate results to operations leadership.
• Coordinate cross-functional efforts with Quality, Engineering, Maintenance and Supply Chain to launch new products, process changes and continuous improvement projects.
