Utilizing SAP, issue purchase orders and schedule releases from scheduling agreements and contract for all packaging inventory. Monitor the MRP system and production schedule, inventory levels, and material lead times to determine packaging material delivery requirements on a daily basis and take appropriate actions to expedite and defer system-determined delivery dates as needed. Focus on a just-in-time approach to inventory management while working closely with Suppliers, Supply and Operation planners and Corporate Procurement departments to arrange and ensure timely release of purchase orders and delivery of materials. Communicate with all parties involved (including corporate individuals), monitor the requirements for packaging materials for new items, and for changes to existing packaging bills of material. Facilitate and/or complete changes to SAP bills of material related to packaging changes, including setup of flow-through information designed to minimize packaging obsolescence issues. Work closely with Suppliers and Hershey personnel to ensure that suppliers are informed of scheduled production dates, and that all pre-production materials (artwork, plates) are provided in sufficient time to produce needed packaging materials for delivery at the required dates. Verify that all required materials have been received prior to the start of production. Maintain the SAP Material master records for all packaging materials related to the plant, including minimum order quantities, safety stock, lead times and shelf-life requirements if applicable. Working with Warehouse and Accounting personnel, investigate and resolve usage/physical inventory discrepancies, looking for reporting errors which would reduce the accuracy of packaging inventories. Establish goals and monitor progress on appropriate inventory management measures such as inventory turns, total inventory investment, inventory shortages and packaging material obsolescence.
