Inventory Coordinator

Chipton-Ross is seeking an Inventory Coordinator for a contract opportunity in Buena Park, CA.

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS (REQUIRED SKILLS/EXPERIENCE)

• Two or more years of inventory control, materials handling, warehouse, receiving, production control, or related manufacturing experience.
• Experience keeping a production or assembly floor supplied - kitting, staging, and replenishing material to a production schedule.
• Working knowledge of inventory transactions, cycle counting, material movement, work orders, locations, and discrepancy research.
• Experience using an ERP, MRP, warehouse management, or inventory control system to perform receiving and inventory transactions.
• Basic to intermediate Microsoft Excel skills and the ability to maintain accurate electronic and paper records.
• Ability to read part numbers, quantities, units of measure, work-order information, revisions, labels, and related manufacturing documentation.
• Strong attention to detail, organization, accountability, urgency, and follow-through.
• Ability to communicate material issues clearly and work effectively with Receiving, Planning, Production, Assembly, Quality, Purchasing, and Shipping.
• Ability to work onsite and spend substantial time in warehouse, receiving, inspection, and manufacturing areas.

POSITION RESPONSIBILITIES

• Keep the production and assembly floor supplied: pull, kit, and stage material to the production and build schedule so work centers and assembly stations have what they need, when they need it.
• Replenish line-side and point-of-use material for assembly and production, monitoring bin and staging levels and refilling ahead of need to prevent line stoppages.
• Kit components for assembly builds and work orders - gathering, verifying, and staging complete sets of parts against the schedule, and flagging shortages before they reach the floor.
• Receive incoming material into inventory: verify quantities, part numbers, revisions, condition, and certifications against receiving and purchase-order documentation, and place material into the correct locations and status.
• Perform inventory transactions in the ERP - issues, transfers, returns, receipts, and adjustments - maintaining accurate quantities, locations, units of measure, status, and lot or heat information.
• Perform scheduled and directed cycle counts of raw material, components, work in process, outside processed parts, consumables, and finished goods.
• Research inventory discrepancies by reviewing transactions, work orders, receiving records, material movement, scrap, and physical locations; document findings and coordinate corrections.
• Issue, transfer, return, and reconcile material to work orders while maintaining required identification, segregation, and traceability.
• Verify part numbers, revisions, quantities, condition, certifications, and inventory status before material is moved, issued, staged, or made available for production.
• Monitor inventory shortages and questionable balances; notify Planning, Purchasing, Production, or Quality promptly when a shortage may affect the build schedule or customer delivery.
• Coordinate the controlled movement of material between Receiving, Inspection, warehouse locations, production and assembly work centers, outside processing, and Shipping.
• Maintain clearly identified, organized inventory and staging locations so materials are stored to prevent damage, deterioration, loss, or improper use.
• Support controls for nonconforming, rejected, obsolete, expired, customer-owned, and otherwise restricted material in coordination with Quality and responsible departments.
• Assist with physical inventories, inventory audits, work-in-process reconciliation, aging reviews, and excess and obsolete inventory projects.
• Use material-handling equipment when trained and authorized, and follow all safety, lifting, storage, and traffic requirements.
• Maintain inventory records and perform all transactions in accordance with company procedures, customer requirements, the quality management system, and applicable export-control requirements. Perform other related duties as assigned.
