Line Logistics

Job Summary

We are seeking a highly organized and proactive Line Logistics candidate to support production flow and ensure assembly builds start and progress on schedule. This role plays a critical part in identifying material shortages, resolving production blockers, and coordinating cross-functional teams to mitigate risks before they impact delivery.

The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, systems-savvy, and comfortable working across a large manufacturing site. This is a hands-on, fast-paced role that bridges Manufacturing, Logistics, Procurement, Quality, Engineering, and Scheduling to keep high-priority builds moving.

Key Responsibilities

• Review upcoming assembly builds and maintain a forward-looking view (current month through 3 months out) to identify risks, shortages, or constraints.
• Ensure build start dates and progression are met by coordinating mitigation actions through completion.
• Support and maintain the Assembly Calendar by identifying scheduling risks and driving resolution.
• Escalate unresolvable delays or critical risks to Manufacturing Management.

Shortage Identification & Issue Resolution

• Identify part shortages, long-lead items, and “held for” jobs impacting assembly.
• Actively work to “unstick” high-priority jobs by coordinating with cross-functional teams including:
  • Material Handling & Stores
  • Programming / Tooling
  • Quality
  • Program Management
  • Procurement
  • Scheduling & Warehousing
  • Fabrication
• Assign owners, follow up continuously, and drive issues to closure.

Daily & Weekly Production Support

• Conduct regular check-ins with Area Lead Hands and Production Managers (start of shift / mid-shift minimum).
• Capture and manage “held for” jobs requiring logistics or material support.
• Participate in daily production meetings to align logistics with real-time shop floor needs.
• Attend departmental boardwalk meetings and rotate through departments to capture cross-functional risks.

Planning Horizons

Immediate (Current Month):

• Review all current-month builds, confirm priorities and readiness.
• Verify engineering changes, configuration updates, and drawing revisions.
• Freeze BOMs for current builds and identify long-lead items.
• Run parts availability checks and coordinate expedited actions.
• Support stores with kitting, sequencing, and pick-list generation.

Short Term (2 Months Out):

• Review builds at the 8–10 week horizon and update demand forecasts.
• Validate long-lead purchase orders and vendor ETAs.
• Coordinate procurement reviews and set expedite triggers.
• Support capacity planning discussions (shifts, overtime, subcontracting).
• Run risk reviews and assign contingency owners.

Mid Term (3 Months Out):

• Confirm 12–14 week production forecasts and cadence.
• Coordinate with departmental leadership on major equipment maintenance.
• Participate in cross-functional reviews of upcoming changes that may impact schedule.

Parts, Inventory & System Management

• Maintain rolling BOM reviews (monthly for near-term builds; quarterly for longer-term).
• Monitor raw material, WIP, and finished goods inventory levels.
• Support safety stock strategies for long-lead and single-source items.
• Establish clear escalation paths for critical-path part shortages.
• Perform weekly MRP/ERP schedule cleanup and system reconciliation.
• Validate supplier lead times and system data monthly.
• Ensure document control (revisions, work instructions) is current and accurate.

Communication & Governance

• Lead or participate in:
  • Weekly production reviews (current month)
  • Bi-weekly cross-functional planning (2-month horizon)
  • Monthly senior management reviews (3-month outlook)
• Track actions in shared tools, assigning owners and deadlines.
• Act as a key liaison between Manufacturing, Procurement, Quality, and Warehousing.
• Proactively report logistics bottlenecks and delivery risks.

Qualifications / Experience

• Experience in a manufacturing or assembly environment (aerospace or complex manufacturing preferred).
• Strong understanding of production workflows, material flow, and build sequencing.
• Proficiency with ERP/MRP systems and Microsoft Excel (list management, analysis, reporting).
• Ability to analyze data, identify risks, and drive issues to resolution.
• Strong communication and coordination skills across multiple departments.
• Comfortable working in a highly mobile role across a large manufacturing site.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.

Ideal Candidate

• Detail-Driven & Proactive: Anticipates issues before they impact production.
• Strong Communicator: Confident coordinating across departments and levels.
• Problem Solver: Enjoys unblocking issues and driving actions to completion.
