This opportunity is for the role of Material Planner at the Toledo facility, a position crucial to ensuring the seamless flow of materials and containers required for uninterrupted production. The Material Planner directly supports manufacturing operations by managing inventory accuracy, coordinating supplier and customer communications, optimizing logistics, and contributing to the effective launch of new models and production changeovers. This role demands precision in handling inventory, preventing material shortages, and limiting excess inventory that could incur unnecessary costs.
