Essential Duties And Responsibilities

• Lead the creation and implementation of PFEP databases for complex manufacturing operations.
• Designed material replenishment strategies (kanban, min/max, milk-run, JIT).
• Ensured PFEP alignment with production takt time, line-side consumption and replenishment from HUB/Warehouse.
• Developed required PFEP tools, train plant engineers for effective use.
• Designed and optimized end-to-end material flow processes from receiving/warehouse to line-side delivery.
• Developed line feeding strategies (kitting, sequencing, point-of-use stocking).
• Implemented material handling systems (tuggers, AGVs, conveyors, manual systems).
• Optimized production layouts for efficient material movement.
• Reduced touchpoints, travel time, and material handling waste.
• Supported NPI (New Product Introduction) by defining material flow and PFEP early in the design phase.
• Applied Lean principles (5S, value stream mapping, waste elimination) to material flow.
• Implemented or enhanced PFEP using ERP/MRP systems (SAP, Oracle, etc.).
• Partnered with operations, supply chain, engineering, and quality teams.
• Led cross-functional workshops for PFEP rollout and material flow redesign.
• Provided training to manufacturing and logistics teams on standard material processes.
• Data-driven decision making
