Supply Chain Manager

We are looking for a hands-on Supply Chain Manager to lead planning and execution activities in Massillon, Ohio. This role is suited for someone who can turn customer demand into achievable production plans, bring cross-functional teams into alignment, and maintain operational discipline in a manufacturing setting. The ideal candidate combines shop-floor credibility with strong leadership across planning, scheduling, customer service, shipping, and inventory control.

Responsibilities:

• Convert forecasts and order demand into practical production plans by balancing equipment capacity, material readiness, labor constraints, and lead times.
• Direct scheduling decisions across varied equipment and processes, setting priorities that support delivery commitments and efficient plant performance.
• Partner with sales, operations, and finance to build a unified operating plan and adjust it effectively as customer demand changes.
• Strengthen planning routines that reduce reactive decision-making and create a consistent response to shifting volume, shortages, and operational constraints.
• Improve inventory health by addressing excess and obsolete stock, increasing accuracy, and resolving gaps between system records and physical inventory.
• Oversee cycle count practices, inventory control procedures, shipping activities, customer service support, and production planning functions to ensure reliable execution.
• Lead efforts to improve schedule attainment, on-time delivery, and lead time performance through measurable process improvements.
• Create accountability across the team by setting clear expectations, coaching performance, and maintaining a visible presence on the production floor.
• Communicate directly with customers when needed regarding shortages, timing updates, and service-related issues while supporting a high standard of responsiveness.
• Develop reporting and visibility tools using ERP and spreadsheet-based analysis to support decision-making and identify cost-saving opportunities.
