Some travel Overview

The Material Flow Engineering Manager at

• is a critical leadership role responsible for designing,
  optimizing, and executing the end-to-end material supply chain, from external suppliers directly to the
  assembly line.

The primary goal is to ensure material availability to meet high-volume production targets

while maintaining efficiency and safety. This role requires a technical leader capable of navigating

ambiguity, driving cross-functional strategy, and implementing "first-principles" engineering solutions

across the global footprint.

Key Responsibilities

Advanced Automation and AI Strategy:

○ Lead automation of supply chain logistics and high-impact projects that bridge the gap

between physical logistics and digital intelligence.

○ Leverage Artificial Intelligence and advanced automation to predict bottlenecks before

they happen and optimize throughput in real-time.

○ Direct the deployment and integration of material handling automation, including

Autonomous Guided Vehicles (AGVs), Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems

(ASRS), and conveyor systems.

Strategy and Optimization:

○ Lead the development, modeling, and analysis of material flow strategies (e.g.,

sequencing, batching, storage) to achieve optimal cost, space utilization, and throughput.

○ Develop models to analyze the cost, throughput, and space factors for part sequencing,

material batching, intermediate storage locations, and other material flow strategies.

Data & Systems Architecture:

○ Oversee the optimization and maintenance of cross-functional databases to ensure data

integrity for material tracking and inventory control.

○ Collaborate with IT to architect and implement digital systems tailored to support evolving

operational requirements.

○ Configure control cycles and logic for FLP and PACE systems to automate material

replenishment triggers. (

• software)
  ○ Strategize IT hardware requirements and oversee the deployment of technology
  interfaces across the production floor.
  

Engineering & Layout Design:

○ Oversee the creation of efficient, Lean, and safe factory layouts and material flow plans,

covering all processes from receiving through delivery to the production line.

○ Design high-efficiency warehouse layouts, including kitting cells, AGV pathways, and

optimized material supply routes.

○ Specify and integrate material handling assets, including tuggers, AGVs, forklift and

custom-engineered racking systems.

○ Partner with Manufacturing Engineering (MEs) to engineer material delivery solutions

(dollies, lift tables, GFRs) that align with specific packaging ergonomics.

○ Engage with the Continuous Improvement (CI) team to prototype innovative equipment

and optimize process cycle times.

Resource & Project Management:

○ Manage cross-functional project teams, vendor relationships (LLP), and project timelines

to successfully deliver on safety, quality, and production metrics.

○ Conduct data-driven workload analysis to determine precise Headcount (HC)

requirements and labor allocation.

○ Lead formal 'buy-off' procedures with Operations to ensure new processes meet safety,

ergonomic, and throughput standards.

○ Drive project momentum through weekly status reporting, cross-functional alignment

meetings, and proactive bottleneck escalation.

Documentation & Standard Work:

○ Author comprehensive Work Instructions (SOPs) and Job Cards to standardize tasks and

minimize process variation.

○ Provide subject matter expertise during the conceptual phases of new projects to ensure

'Design for Logistics' principles are applied.

Required Qualifications

Experience:

preferably of 5 to 10 years of experience in high-volume manufacturing OEM's,

logistics, or supply chain engineering, with at least 5 years in a formal supervisory or leadership

capacity.

Education:

Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Supply Chain, Industrial Engineering, or a related

field.

Technical Proficiency:

○ 2+ years' experience with data-based development of end-to-end supply chain, logistics,

and/or material flow processes for high volume, high complexity production or logistics

facilities.

○ Demonstrated skill in CAD software (AutoCAD) for layout planning, including 2+ years'

experience.

○ Strong capability in data analysis tools (Excel/Google Sheets) and analytical ability to

break down complex problems and data sets to derive meaningful, actionable results.

○ Hands-on experience with key manufacturing and logistics systems, such as

Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES), Material Requirements Planning (MRP), or

Warehouse Management Systems (WMS).

Core Skills:

Exceptional analytical abilities, proven leadership qualities, and strong

communication skills necessary to navigate and thrive in a fast-paced, high-growth environment

characterized by ambiguity.

Preferred Qualifications

• An MBA or Master's degree.
  
• Experience working with Yard Management Systems (YMS).
  
• Experience with modeling or simulation software (Flexsim, AnyLogic, etc.) and data visualization
  tools (MS PowerBI).
  
• Ability to understand Engineering and Design direction and provide focused supply-chain
  solutions accordingly
