Inventory record accuracy and shortage-burn-down history verified with the operations leaders they supported.
A structured process for the materials hire — where inventory accuracy and shortage discipline decide whether the line runs or waits.
30-minute call. Align on SKU count, warehouse footprint, ERP/MRP environment (SAP, Oracle, Epicor), team size, and start date.
Within 2 weeks we introduce 3–5 Materials Managers with environment-matched inventory history. References from plant and operations leaders included.
Every placement carries a replacement guarantee.
Reference-verified inventory record accuracy — cycle count programs, root-cause on variances, and audit-clean results, not just WMS familiarity.
Candidates who have run daily shortage meetings and burn-down disciplines through capacity ramps and engineering changes — verified with the production leaders who lived it.
Working fluency in SAP MM/WM, Oracle, or Epicor plus planning parameters — safety stock, lot sizing, lead-time offsets — tested in interview.
Reference-verified cycle count programs and sustained accuracy above target in a comparable SKU environment.
Kitting, lineside replenishment, and point-of-use delivery discipline matched to your production model.
Daily shortage cadence, clear-to-build reporting, and supplier expedite escalation that actually recovers dates.
Warehouse team leadership, powered-equipment safety record, and 5S/lean housekeeping standards.
We’ll help scope the role on the call — SKU count, warehouse footprint, ERP environment, team size.
Time to shortlist is typically 2 weeks. Total time to placement is typically 3–4 weeks.
Pricing depends on engagement model.
Base salaries typically run $100k–$140k across US manufacturing markets. Multi-site or high-SKU operations, and hires with CPIM/CSCP certification, run $130k–$155k with bonus.
A Materials Manager owns inventory and material flow inside the four walls — warehouse, MRP, kitting. A Logistics Manager owns freight, carriers, and movement between sites. In smaller operations one person may cover both; we scope that with you.
Yes. Every placement carries a replacement guarantee.
Yes. Multi-hire builds — supervisors, planners, coordinators — route through embedded recruiting or RPO.
30-minute scoping conversation. We’ll review the materials role, SKU environment, ERP stack, and team structure — then start sourcing.
