  • Establish and monitor department goals and key performance indicators.
  • Drive structured problem solving, process improvement, and capital projects.
  • Implement the MSC KHMS pillar to support operational excellence within the department.
  • Monitor and report key performance indicators, including CFR, OTIF, cycle-count accuracy, schedule attainment, working capital, and other applicable operational KPIs.
  • Ensure accurate and timely OMP data submission.
  • Partner with Quality and Production on applicable product hold and recall procedures and the appropriate storage of ingredients and finished goods.

Business & Financial Management:

  • Develop and manage the department budget and maintain appropriate financial controls.
  • Support compliance with company policies and applicable safety, food-manufacturing, and regulatory requirements.
  • Participate as a member of plant leadership teams and contribute to long-range facility planning.

What You'll Bring

Required Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of experience in supply chain, logistics, warehousing, distribution, or manufacturing operations, including demonstrated people-leadership experience.
  • Working knowledge of financial and budget management.
  • Strong organizational, planning, problem-solving, communication, and interpersonal skills.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and make sound decisions in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
  • Project management experience and demonstrated ability to identify and resolve operational issues.
  • Knowledge of applicable safety, food-manufacturing, employment, and regulatory requirements.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
