Lead the mapping and optimization of logistics master data in SAP, conducting hands-on field verification (Gemba) to build and implement a robust PFEP (Plan For Every Part) matrix. Your primary goal will be to ensure absolute accuracy and seamless control of material flows between the ERP system and physical plant operations.

• PFEP (Plan For Every Part) Strategy & Architecture
• Data Matrix Design: Design, build, and continually optimize the plant's centralized PFEP matrix to establish a single source of truth for every SKU (Part Number, Description, Supplier, Lead Time, Usage Rates, Packaging, and Storage Location).
• Consumption & Replenishment Logic: Define optimal material delivery strategies (e.g., Kanban, Milk Runs, Just-In-Time, Kitting) based on part consumption rates, physical dimensions, and production line requirements.
• Continuous Maintenance: Establish auditing protocols to ensure the PFEP database automatically adapts to engineering changes (ECOs), production line reconfigurations, or supplier modifications.
• System Mapping: Configure, audit, and sanitize critical logistics master data within SAP (MM/WM/PP modules), including Material Masters, Storage Types, Bin Locations, and Bill of Materials (BOM) logistics data.
• Discrepancy Remediation: Investigate root causes behind discrepancies between SAP system status and physical shop-floor inventory, implementing systemic corrections to prevent recurrence.
• Process Alignment: Ensure parameters like Safety Stock levels, Reorder Points, and Standard Pack Quantities (SNP) in SAP match real-world floor capacities and transit times.
• Shop-Floor Auditing: Routinely conduct structured Gemba walks across warehouses, receiving docks, and assembly lines to validate that physical layouts mirror digital routing.
• Packaging & Container Validation: Measure and document physical container dimensions, dunnage types, stackability, and unit loads to optimize space utilization in racks and lineside storage.
• Supplier & Receiving Verification: Audit incoming supplier packaging compliance against plant standards to streamline the unloading, staging, and put-away processes.
• Lineside Logistics: Partner with Manufacturing and Ergonomics teams to design lean lineside presentation (racks, flow racks, gravity feeders) that minimizes operator travel distance and handling time.
• Internal Warehousing: Define efficient binning, slotting, and picking routes inside the main warehouse based on velocity analysis (ABC classification).
• Throughput Bottleneck Elimination: Identify handling friction points from receiving through production feeding, introducing lean tools (5S, Visual Management) to streamline material velocity.

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Engineering, Logistics, Supply Chain Management, or a related field.
• Experience: Minimum of 3 years in plant logistics, warehouse management, or packaging/materials engineering.

• Technical Skills:

  Solid proficiency in SAP ERP (MM, WM, and/or PP modules).
• In-depth understanding of material management methodologies and Lean manufacturing (specifically PFEP).
• Software Tools: Advanced Excel (Pivot tables, complex formulas, cross-referencing datasets; VBA/Macros proficiency is a plus).
• Key Competencies: High attention to detail, analytical mindset, strong problem-solving skills, and a hands-on shop-floor focus.
