About The Team

You will provide functional guidance to the shift team across Inbound, Outbound, Kitting/Inventory Management, and Production Supply to guarantee OTIF delivery and zero-defect quality.

• Conduct thorough shift handovers to ensure continuity of material flow, open order transparency, and safety critical updates between shifts.
• Enforce strict adherence to warehouse safety policies, 5S workplace organization standards, and standard operating procedures (SOPs).
