Ensure the integrity, proper storage conditions, and protection of raw materials to prevent damage, contamination, or deterioration.

Maintain high inventory accuracy through cycle counts, physical reconciliations, perpetual inventory systems, and monthly/periodic reconciliations with external warehouses or third parties.

Manage and control material transfers to production (domain transfer), ensuring timely, accurate, and documented movements to minimize downtime and support production schedules.

Provide timely, reliable, and actionable data and reports on inventory levels, material availability, discrepancies, and key performance indicators to planning, production, and management.

Monitor and optimize warehouse space utilization, storage layouts, and material flow for maximum efficiency and safety.

Enforce and promote a zero-incident safety culture, ensuring full compliance with occupational health & safety regulations, company policies, proper use of PPE, equipment maintenance, and risk identification/mitigation.

Continuously evaluate operating procedures, implement improvements, and drive productivity, waste reduction (including management of waste and scrap metal areas), and cost savings.

Train, coach, and develop team members on standard operating procedures, safety protocols, inventory systems, and best practices.

Collaborate closely with Production, Planning, Quality, Purchasing, and other departments to resolve issues, prioritize tasks, and align warehouse activities with organizational needs.

Utilize ERP systems (preferably SAP) for data entry, order processing, inventory management, and reporting.
