Job Description

Coordinate and expedite the flow of materials from suppliers and across manufacturing departments to support generator production schedules in Pensacola, Florida.

Key Responsibilities

Manage master production planning, material planning processes, and related systems to support generator manufacturing operations. Prepare, maintain, and update production schedules, material requirements, and purchasing plans in alignment with customer demand and manufacturing priorities.
Coordinate material availability for generator components, assemblies, and subassemblies, including electrical components, control systems, wiring, mechanical parts, and other production-critical materials.
Partner with production, procurement, engineering, warehouse, and planning teams to ensure materials are available when needed, proactively identify supply constraints, and minimize production delays.
Monitor inventory levels, material shortages, supplier lead times, and production requirements to support efficient manufacturing operations and optimize inventory performance.
Ensure alignment between material plans, production schedules, customer delivery commitments, and key performance indicators (KPIs), including On-Time Delivery (OTD), inventory accuracy, and schedule adherence.
Identify opportunities to improve material planning processes, inventory management, supplier coordination, and overall supply chain efficiency within generator manufacturing operations.
Apply working knowledge of production planning, procurement, inventory management, and manufacturing processes to resolve day-to-day operational challenges within established procedures and guidelines.
Collaborate with engineering and manufacturing teams to support Bill of Materials (BOM) accuracy, engineering changes, component substitutions, and material requirements associated with generator configurations and product revisions.
Drive and support On-Time Delivery (OTD) performance through proactive material planning, effective coordination across departments, and timely resolution of material shortages and production-related issues.
Manage communication with suppliers and internal stakeholders to monitor delivery commitments, address supply disruptions, assess operational risks, and maintain continuity of generator production.
Serve as a key point of coordination between customers, production teams, engineering, procurement, and supply chain stakeholders to communicate material availability, production status, delivery risks, and recovery plans.
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to investigate recurring material issues, implement corrective actions, and improve operational performance and customer satisfaction.
Escalate complex supply chain, supplier performance, and production scheduling issues to management when necessary, ensuring timely decisions and appropriate corrective actions.
