Supply Chain Manager

Supply Chain Manager - Manufacturing - Liverpool

Client Details

My client is a highly successful manufacturer demonstrating YOY growth with no signs of slowing down. The owners continue to invest in the team, CAPEX (for expansion), and technology to ensure they stay ahead of the curve.

Description

As Supply Chain Manager you will:

• Review the material flow through the Liverpool factory and highlight opportunities for efficiencies, meeting with key stakeholders (production / operations) to understand the specific manufacturing processes
• Investigate systems access and capability, transitioning the planning process to a full MRP
• Identify the requirements of the business processes, and build a team to support
• Introduce a basic S&OP process to the Liverpool site, selling the benefits to key stakeholders. This will include educating contributors to the process and building accountability
• Manage the purchasing function to ensure the supply base has visibility on material requirements in advance. This will also support risk management highlighting the need for secondary sources
• Build a dashboard to help colleagues understand how to priorities, and show successes
• Develop robust processes for goods in and outbound materials management to help track inventory (materials, MRO, finished products)

Profile

The ideal candidate will:

• Already be a Supply Chain Manager within a complex manufacturing environment. This will include processes with significant variations on builds (eg. bespoke car manufacture where specification changes significantly per car).
• Be able to balance strategic and operational goals, adopting a hands on approach to the operation
• Demonstrate a record of delivery, influencing production and sales teams to create a "1 team culture"
• Recruit and lead a team supporting their development and engagement
• Have a working knowledge of systems, ideally SAP
