Issuing materials to production cells accurately and on time
Using SAP or equivalent ERP/WMS systems for stock control and transactions

Previous experience in a manufacturing stores or engineering stores environment
Experience kitting parts for production or assembly
Ability to read route cards, pick lists, or engineering drawings
Experience using SAP or another ERP/WMS system
