- Properly identify, label, and route received material to the appropriate warehouse, inspection, production, or staging location.
- Coordinate with Quality when material requires incoming inspection or additional review.
- Communicate receiving discrepancies promptly to Purchasing, Quality, Logistics, and other appropriate departments.
- Maintain organized receiving and staging areas and prevent material from remaining unidentified or unprocessed.

- Assist with Kanban, safety stock, and point-of-use inventory replenishment.
- Maintain clear aisles, designated storage locations, and an organized warehouse environment.
- Identify opportunities to improve warehouse space utilization and material flow.

Order Picking, Packaging & Shipping Support

- Pick material accurately according to sales orders, work orders,



transfer requirements, or other documentation.
- Verify part numbers, quantities, condition, and documentation before material leaves the warehouse.
- Package and protect parts and equipment appropriately for movement or shipment.
- Assist with palletizing, wrapping, strapping, labeling, and other packaging requirements.
- Stage completed orders in designated areas for shipment.

- Research transaction discrepancies between physical inventory and system inventory.
- Maintain accurate material locations and inventory records.
- Review open receipts, incomplete transactions, and other exceptions requiring follow-up.
- Ensure warehouse transactions are completed promptly so inventory information remains reliable for Planning, Purchasing, Production, Sales, and Logistics.

Coordination & Communication

- Serve as a primary point of coordination for warehouse and receiving activities.
- Communicate material shortages, receiving issues, damaged material, inventory discrepancies, and other concerns promptly.
- Work cross-functionally with Purchasing, Production, Scheduling, Quality, Customer Service, Sales, and Logistics.
- Prioritize incoming and outgoing material based on production and customer requirements.
- Follow up on open issues through resolution rather than simply identifying the problem.
- Provide clear and professional communication regarding material status and warehouse priorities.
- Support urgent requests while maintaining accuracy and established processes.

Safety, Quality & Continuous Improvement

- Follow all company safety procedures and material-handling requirements.
- Safely operate forklifts, pallet jacks, and other warehouse equipment.
