BOM Management: Oversee and maintain multi-level Bills of Materials for complex assemblies consisting of 1,500 to 2000 individual components. Precision MRP Execution: Manage Material Requirement Planning (MRP) cycles to synchronize procurement with fluctuating production schedules, ensuring zero production downtimeTo ensure material planning and material receipt in plant 100% on timeTotal ownership of process from MRP to PO release to getting the deliveriesInventory Optimization: Balance high SKU counts with lean inventory principles (JIT/Kanban) to optimize working capital while maintaining safety stock for long-lead-time items.Contract Negotiation: Lead high-value negotiations, and establish Service Level Agreements (SLAs) with critical vendors to secure favourable terms and price stability.Proficiency in New vendor development and price negotiationRisk Management: Develop contingency plans for supply chain disruptions affecting any of the components, including alternate sourcing and safety stock strategiesSupplier Lifecycle Management: Identify, audit, and onboard new vendors capable of meeting rigorous quality and scalability requirementsTechnical Capacity Building: Work directly with vendors to upgrade their manufacturing processes, quality controls, and digital integration (Industry 4.0).Sustainable Sourcing: Ensure the vendor base complies with 2026 ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) mandates and carbon footprint reportingRequired Technical Skills: Efficient in forging, castings, sheet metal component, bought out components like Fasteners, general machine components etcAdvanced ERP Mastery: Expert-level knowledge of SAP, Oracle, or similar systems, particularly in MRP II and Master Data modulesData Analytics: Ability to process and interpret large datasets to identify consumption trends and forecasting errorsTechnical Knowledge: Forgings, Castings, Sheet Metal Components, Bought out components of Fastner, general machine components etcMaterial Planning Methodologies: Proficiency in Lean Manufacturing, Just-in-Time (JIT), and Kanban systems to improve throughput. Must be managing a high demanding work environment where daily customer deliveries are a must.
