Key Responsibilities

- Own perpetual inventory records in ERP; maintain system-to-physical accuracy of 99% for A-class, high-value and long-lead components, and 98% overall.

- Design and execute a cycle-count programme weekly and monthly for A-class, B-class and C-class components and lead periodic wall-to-wall physical stock takes.

- Investigate every variance to documented root cause; drive corrective and preventive action rather than adjustment entries.

- Own bin location mapping, part-number and labelling standards, barcode/QR implementation and store layout optimisation.

- Enforce FIFO, LIFO and FEFO discipline across all material categories.

- Manage MSL (Moisture Sensitive Level) components, including dry cabinet storage, humidity indicator card checks, floor-life tracking and bake process control per J-STD-033.

- Control shelf-life materials — solder paste, flux, adhesives, conformal coating and epoxies — including cold-storage discipline, thaw logs and expiry alerts.

- Maintain reel, tray, tube and stick segregation; manage partial reel reconciliation, X-ray counting and reel splicing records.

- Enforce ESD-protected handling and storage across stores and staging areas in line with IEC 61340-5-1 / ANSI-ESD S20.20.

- Maintain traceability at lot and date-code level to satisfy customer and regulatory recall requirements.

- Ensure on-time, accurate kitting against SMT, through-hole and box-build schedules; drive kit readiness reviews ahead of each build.

- Prevent line stoppages through daily shortage tracking,



expedite escalation and shortage-risk visibility to Planning and Purchase.

- Manage WIP inventory, shop-floor issue and return, excess reconciliation on job closure, and rejection, rework and quarantine stock.

- Reconcile BOM-based standard consumption against actual issue; monitor, report and reduce attrition, setup loss and scrap at component level.

- Manage finished-goods inventory, packing material stock and dispatch readiness.

- Administer customer free-issue and consigned material under separate accounting, with periodic reconciliation statements issued to the customer.

- Manage supplier consignment stock, VMI arrangements and associated consumption reporting.

- Handle rejection returns to suppliers, debit note coordination and replacement tracking with Purchase and Quality.

- Drive ERP data integrity, including item master hygiene, UOM discipline, reorder levels, safety stock parameters and BOM accuracy.

- Support ERP / WMS implementation, enhancement and barcode scanning rollout; act as the materials-side process owner.

- Publish periodic MIS covering inventory turns, days-on-hand, stock value, ageing trend, fill rate, kit readiness and shortage analysis.





- Ensure compliance with ISO 9001 — and IATF 16949 where applicable — together with customer-specific quality requirements.

- Run structured FSN (Fast–Slow–Non-moving), ABC value and VED criticality analyses on a defined monthly cadence.

- Maintain ageing buckets — 0–30 / 31–90 / 91–180 / 181–365 / 365+ days — by part, customer programme and value; publish a monthly Inventory Health Dashboard to management.

- Classify, tag and physically segregate slow-moving, non-moving and dead stock so it does not distort available-to-promise or kitting logic.

- Establish and maintain the Excess & Obsolete (E&O;) provisioning schedule.

- Perform root-cause analysis on every dead-stock accumulation, including ECN or design change, EOL and NRND components, supplier MOQ over-buy, cancelled or deferred customer schedules, forecast error, over-ordering against attrition, and qualification failures.

- Support internal, statutory, customer and stock audits with complete documentation.

- Author and maintain SOPs and work instructions for every store and inventory process; train the team against them.

- Represent Inventory in daily production meetings, weekly S&OP; reviews and monthly management reviews.

Experience A minimum of 3 years in an Electronics Manufacturing Services or electronics contract-manufacturing environment, with direct hands-on exposure to:

- PCBA / SMT and box-build assembly operations

- Multi-level BOMs with high SKU counts, typically 500+ active part numbers
