ROLE SUMMARY
Own the factory's material backbone from inward receipt to issue at the line. Guarantee that the right material is
available, accurately recorded, well-preserved, and issued on time to production, while keeping inventory accuracy
tight and shrinkage near zero. Run the central store, hardware store, and central pasting as one disciplined
operation.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Inward & GRN: own receipt, quality-gate coordination, GRN, and put-away for boards, laminates,
hardware, aluminium/glass and consumables; no un-booked stock.
Material availability: guarantee BOM-based material readiness against the daily production and dispatch
plan; drive fill-rate to the line and prevent stock-outs.
¢ Central pasting: oversee the central pasting operation throughput, quality, and timely feed of pasted
panels to the units.
¢ Inventory accuracy: run cycle counts and periodic physical verification; keep ERP stock reconciled to
physical; investigate and close every variance.
¢ Storage & preservation: own bin / location discipline, FIFO, and correct preservation of moisture-sensitive
and fragile materials; minimise damage and obsolescence.
¢ Issue to production: run accurate, BOM / kit-based issue to the units with a full audit trail; eliminate over-
issue and pilferage.
¢ Replenishment coordination: work with procurement and planning on reorder levels, min-max, and lead-
time buffers; flag ageing and slow-moving stock.
¢ ERP discipline: ensure every inward, transfer, and issue is transacted in ERP in real time; keep a clean,
auditable stock ledger.
¢ Space & 5S: optimise warehouse layout and space utilisation; enforce 5S, housekeeping, and material-
handling safety.
¢ Team & control: lead the Modular, Hardware, and pasting teams; drive shrinkage/damage control and
inter-team discipline.
SKILLS & REQUIREMENTS
¢ Qualification: Graduate / B.E.; diploma or degree in logistics / supply chain / materials management a plus.
¢ Experience: 1015 years in warehouse / stores / materials management in manufacturing furniture,
building materials, or FMCG with central-store and issue-to-production ownership.
¢ Technical: strong ERP / WMS discipline, BOM-based issue, cycle-count methods, inventory-accuracy and
shrinkage-control systems.
¢ Leadership: has run a multi-team stores operation; can build process and discipline across inward, storage,
pasting, and issue.
¢ Behavioural: accuracy-obsessed, systems-driven, honest, and firm on stock discipline under production
pressure.
