Monitor usage rates to forecast and address material shortages or surpluses.
Create and maintain detailed records of materials, their locations, and status updates using enterprise resource planning (ERP) or other inventory systems.
Work closely with the supply chain team to procure raw materials, components, and parts for underwater sensor systems and polymers.
Address supply chain disruptions by identifying alternative sources and mitigating risks.
Manage material-critical issues by escalating concerns that compromise production timelines.
Ensure all materials meet specific project standards, technical requirements, and regulatory compliance for underwater and polymer systems.
Maintain compliance with Service Contract Act (SCA) policies and procedures.
Develop and maintain reports including usage data, inventory turnover, and materials discrepancies.
Communicate effectively with cross-functional teams, including engineers, program managers, and quality control, to ensure proper material selection and usage.
Provide status updates to management, identifying potential risks to material availability that may impact schedules or deliverables.
Train team members on materials management best practices.
Analyze inventory levels to optimize supply while minimizing overstock and inefficiencies.
Utilize metrics to improve the accuracy and efficiency of material replenishment processes.
Perform routine inventory audits and cycle counts to minimize errors.
Follow and enforce workplace safety and OSHA policies when handling materials to ensure a safe working environment.
