• Monitor material availability, review pull kits, and follow up on shortages to minimize production delays
• Coordinate Outside Processing (OSP) activities with external vendors to ensure timely delivery of components
• Review SMT schedules and support prioritization based on production needs
• Prepare daily shipment reports and coordinate with Shipping to ensure timely order fulfillment
• Communicate schedule commitments and updates to Program Managers (PMs) and internal stakeholders
• Identify, troubleshoot, and escalate production, material, or scheduling issues as needed

 

What You Bring

• Strong organizational and time management skills with the ability to handle multiple priorities
• Analytical and problem-solving skills to address scheduling and material constraints
• Effective verbal and written communication skills

Nice to Have

• Experience supporting New Product Introduction (NPI) builds
• Familiarity with Shop Floor Scheduling (SFS) systems
• Understanding of supply chain processes, including material planning and outside processing (OSP)
