Demand & Material Requirement Analysis
Analyze the Master Production Schedule (MPS) and sales forecasts to calculate net raw material requirements using MRP logic.
Review and interpret Bills of Materials (BOMs) specific to gasket types to ensure the correct materials (e.g., specific durometer rubber, gauge of metal) are planned for.
Continuously monitor planning parameters (lead times, safety stock, reorder points, lot sizes) in the ERP/MRP system and recommend adjustments based on consumption trends and production changes.

Inventory Planning & Optimization
Maintain optimal inventory levels for all raw materials (elastomers, metals, composites) and finished gaskets to meet production targets while minimizing carrying costs.
Identify and manage slow-moving, excess, or obsolete materials, providing reports to management and recommending action plans for disposition.
Coordinate with the warehouse team to ensure material accuracy through cycle counting and investigate and reconcile inventory discrepancies.

Production Support & Scheduling Interface
Release and manage production work orders to the shop floor based on material availability and production priorities.




Monitor real-time material availability against the production schedule; proactively identify potential material shortages that could halt production runs.
Collaborate with Production Schedulers to align material release dates with machine capacity and changeover requirements.

Cross-Functional Communication
Communicate material status, potential delays, and shortage risks to the Production and Customer Service teams.
Work closely with the Quality Assurance team to quarantine and plan for the replacement of non-conforming raw materials identified during receiving or production.
Support Engineering Change Notices (ECNs) by ensuring old materials are depleted and current materials are available according to the phase-in/phase-out schedule.

Data Integrity & Reporting
Generate and analyze inventory reports (e.g., inventory turnover, days of supply, stockout frequency).
Ensure accuracy of inventory data and item master records within the ERP system.
