Req qual notes:

Researching, managing shortages, mitigating shortages, helping with transfers and coordinating with the floor. Similar role but more so in the warehouse perspective.

They won't do the labor planning but will coordinate with warehouse teams directly, helping with Kanban processes and directly taking things to the floor, utilizing Jira system to pre-emptively backfill kits to ensure they always have something in the pipeline.

This role will be around 50% computer/spreadsheet based and 50% physical aspect (not warehouse but the role is within a warehouse setting). There will be some ambiguity involved.

They will be carrying full kits, inspecting full kits of products that will be going to the floor for specific work orders. Quickly identifying what an assembly is based on labels/etc. Not heavily physical but about 50/50 on the planning side - there will be a ton of computer work but will also be transferring kits to physically take out to the floor for Kanban practices
