Coordinate with Quality for inspection, holds, quarantines, COAs/lot tracking, and disposition of nonconforming material.
Drive improved dock-to-stock time and reduce receiving errors through standard work and training.

Ensure proper material identification, location control, FIFO/FEFO (where applicable), and segregation of holds/nonconforming inventory.
Reduce inventory adjustments through process controls, access controls, and transactional discipline.
Lead physical inventory counts and ensure reconciliation to system of record.

Partner with Production to align material movement/staging expectations with the production schedule and execution signals in Parity Factory.
Maintain accurate WIP movements and transactions to keep Parity Factory execution aligned with NetSuite inventory.

Coordinate carrier scheduling, dock appointments, and shipment priorities to support Customer Service and Distribution needs.
Own freight claims process and drive reduction in shipping errors and product damage.
Ensure high-quality transactions in NetSuite: receipts, inventory moves, bin transfers, picks, shipments, cycle count entries, and approved adjustments.
Maintain clear SOPs for when and how transactions occur to prevent timing gaps between physical moves and system updates.
Partner with Finance/Costing to support accurate inventory valuation and clean period close practices.
Support audits and traceability needs by maintaining accurate records and documentation.
Lead, coach, and develop warehouse leads/supervisors and hourly team members (training plans, performance feedback, accountability).
