A day in the life
Morning: You kick off with the Purchasing team, reviewing demand signals and supplier commits in SyteLine. You coach buyers on sourcing decisions, approve POs, and tune procurement parameters so the ERP remains the single source of truth. You check on import paperwork in flight, confirm tariff classifications, and align with our customs broker on an inbound shipment.
Midday: On the floor with Shipping & Receiving, you verify dock-to-stock readiness, coordinate receiving inspection with Quality, and spot-check documentation for outbound orders to meet customer and production commitments. You review kitting progress against the production schedule and step in to remove blockers so complete, accurate kits reach the line on time.
Afternoon: A quick huddle with Warehouse and Production to triage cycle-count variances and drive root-cause/corrective actions. You meet a supplier to negotiate terms, delivery performance, and quality requirements, then update the ASL to AS9100 standards. Before close, you sync with the ecommerce team on inventory availability and fulfillment timing.
