Full Job Description

We are seeking a Buyer/Planner to join our Operations team. This position is responsible for maintaining purchased-part inventories, coordinating supplier deliveries, and supporting production schedules in collaboration with Operations, Sourcing, Inventory Control, Quality, and Finance to ensure materials are available when needed and inventory levels support production and customer requirements.

The successful candidate will understand manufacturing processes, material planning, and production scheduling and will communicate quickly and clearly when material shortages, supplier issues, or inventory discrepancies may affect operations.

Purchasing and Supplier Management

Manage purchase orders and purchased-part requirements to support production schedules and customer demand.
Communicate with suppliers regarding order status, delivery schedules, shortages, and other potential disruptions.
Escalate material availability concerns promptly to Operations and Commodity Management.
Coordinate deliveries needed to fulfill customer orders and report backordered or missing materials.
Partner with Supplier Quality Engineering and Commodity Management to address supplier product-quality concerns.
Use ERP tools accurately to monitor purchase orders, inventory requirements, and supplier performance.
Work with Operations, Inventory Control, Commodity Management, and Finance to establish and maintain appropriate inventory targets.

Production Scheduling and Inventory Management

Support production scheduling using FIFO principles and established planning tools to help achieve an on-time delivery goal of 95% or greater.
Maintain accurate production schedules and scheduling boards.
Review ERP system data daily, investigate inventory discrepancies, and coordinate timely resolution.
Partner with Operations to ensure consistent and accurate material backflushing procedures.
Lead or support cycle-counting activities for assigned areas.
Work cross-functionally to develop and monitor inventory targets, improvement initiatives, and key performance indicators for raw materials and finished goods.
Follow established processes across departments that interact with inventory and maintain a complete understanding of the overall material flow.

Continuous Improvement and Inventory Accuracy

Reconcile ERP transactions, packing slips, and physical shipment receipts in partnership with Inventory Control.
Conduct root-cause analysis of inventory variances and implement appropriate corrective actions.
Review bills of material as needed to confirm actual usage and system accuracy, submitting updates through the established process.
Monitor purchased-part material requirements and identify opportunities to improve inventory turns through order quantities, lead times, consumption rates, and delivery frequency.
Develop and maintain visual controls that support quick and effective decision-making.
Prepare and maintain reports related to inventory turns, scrap, cycle counts, shortages, and other key inventory measures.
Identify opportunities to improve planning, purchasing, and inventory-management systems and processes.

Additional Responsibilities

Maintain a clean, organized, secure, and safe work area.
Follow established safety practices when working in warehouse and manufacturing environments.
Complete other duties and projects as assigned.

Education and Experience

Associate degree required; bachelor’s degree preferred.
Two to three years of experience in inventory control, materials management, purchasing, or production scheduling within a manufacturing environment.
Five or more years of manufacturing experience preferred.
Experience using continuous-improvement and root-cause-analysis tools.
Experience with ERP systems required; SAP or Syteline experience preferred.

Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities

Strong understanding of manufacturing processes, material planning, purchasing, inventory control, and production scheduling.
Effective written and verbal communication skills.
Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving abilities.
Ability to identify operational concerns, recommend solutions, and influence change in a professional and collaborative manner.
Ability to develop, document, and implement processes and procedures.
Ability to prioritize competing responsibilities and manage multiple deadlines.
Proficiency with Microsoft Office applications, including Excel, Word, Outlook, Teams, and PowerPoint.
Ability to learn new systems and processes quickly.
Proactive, self-motivated, and capable of working effectively with general direction.
