• Coordinate internal material flow, kitting, and delivery to various production lines, workstations, or departments as required. Implement and maintain FIFO (First-In, First-Out) or other inventory rotation methodologies. Identify and report slow-moving, obsolete, or damaged inventory.
• Operate various material handling equipment (e.g., forklifts, pallet jacks, order pickers, reach trucks) safely and efficiently, and ensure proper pre-shift inspections. Oversee the loading and unloading of items, ensuring cargo is secured and handled correctly.
• Identify opportunities for process improvements within the supply and material handling functions to increase efficiency, reduce waste, and improve accuracy.
