Warehouse Inventory Team Leader

To ensure the accurate handling, tracking, and flow of electronic components during first shift operations, the addition of a dedicated Warehouse Inventory Team Leader is essential. This role will lead key inventory control activities, manage a specialized team, and support operational continuity by directly supporting Kitting and Production teams. The Team Leader will be responsible for executing and overseeing critical tasks such as cycle counts, bin sweeps, and component put-aways, while also driving basic continuous improvement initiatives and resolving inventory discrepancies through root cause analysis.

This position is critical to improving inventory accuracy, enhancing operational efficiency, and supporting production readiness. The ideal candidate will possess strong communication skills, hands-on experience in material handling, and a solid understanding of manufacturing and warehouse procedures.

Inventory Accuracy & Control

Cycle Counts & Bin Sweeps : The Team Leader will lead daily cycle counts and bin sweeps to verify that physical inventory aligns with the system.
Discrepancy Resolution : By applying basic root cause analysis, the Team Leader will identify and resolve inventory mismatches promptly. This proactive approach minimizes recurring issues and supports audit readiness, contributing to better compliance and reduced operational risk (e.g., procurement gaps).

Material Flow Coordination

Put-Away Oversight : The Team Leader will ensure that components are processed and placed in correct bin locations. This improves traceability and system accuracy, which in turn accelerates material availability for production and reduces downtime.

Internal Transfers (STOs) : Knowledge of internal stock transfers is essential to ensure system alignment and prevent delays in material movements. This improves operational flow, supports production rates, and test-on-time throughput.

Kitting Operations

A key responsibility of this role is to support the kitting of components. The Team Leader will ensure that Kitting team is picking the correct materials and quantities to support the production plan. Their direct involvement will help reduce discrepancies and improve production efficiency.

Team Leadership

Associate Management : The Team Leader will assist the Supervisor in managing a group of material handlers, counters, and forklift drivers, providing daily direction and task prioritization. This contributes to stronger team performance, boosting morale, retention, and productivity.

Training & Compliance : Ensures that associates are trained in proper material handling of components and other warehouse protocols. This reduces errors and promotes consistency.

Continuous Improvement

The Team Leader will identify and implement basic process improvements to enhance inventory accuracy and streamline workflows. These efforts contribute to long-term efficiency and cost savings.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

By working closely with Scheduling, Kitting, Receiving, and Production teams, the Team Leader ensures inventory availability and smoother material flow and execution across departments. This coordination supports faster decision-making and improved responsiveness to production needs.
