Identify operational bottlenecks and implement localized countermeasures to control labor costs and overtime.
• Continuous Improvement & Root-Cause Analysis: Lead localized problem-solving initiatives using standard lean methodologies (A3, 5-Why, and fishbone structures). Coordinate localized Kaizen events to optimize facility layouts, improve material picking/packaging flow, eliminate waste, and implement error-proofing controls on the floor.
• Cross-Functional Alignment & Audit Readiness: Partner actively with internal Purchasing, Sales, QA, and Trade Compliance teams to review customer requirements and resolve delivery deviations. Oversee on-site compliance logs (including basic documentation, CTPAT practices, and hazmat handling rules) to preserve constant site audit readiness.
• Systems & Supply Chain Technology Execution: Direct the disciplined day-to-day usage of localized WMS, TMS, and ERP (SAP) systems among floor staff. Monitor scanning, barcoding, and EDI transaction data loops to safeguard inventory tracking data integrity and eliminate manual system entry errors.

• 5–7 years of progressive warehouse, kitting, processing, or logistics operations experience, including at least 2–3 years in a formal supervisory or team leadership role.
