The Logistics Manager is accountable for all physical distribution operations and costs in the El Paso market, both at the plant and at the overflow warehouse facility, excluding only outbound transportation planning and performance from the overflow warehouse (managed by corporate transportation) and the planning and performance of ‘collect’ inbound shipments from certain suppliers (again, managed by corporate transportation).  The details of this work include inbound all inventory move transactions in Infor M3, logistics planning at the plant, plant drop lot management, plant receiving operations, plant inventory control including raw materials, packing materials and pallets, line delivery and return operations in support of production, line takeaway from the production lines, plant dock and outbound warehouse operations, shuttle performance to/from the overflow warehouse and oversight/accountability of all warehouse activity and inventory record accuracy performance at the overflow warehouse.

Specific transactions that must be done include confirming/auditing receipt of pallets from CHEP to the plant, moving pallets with finished goods from the plant to the overflow warehouse, ensuring that overflow warehouse management and personnel are properly confirming inbound receipts from the plant, from CHEP, from other company locations and from suppliers and ensuring that outbound CO and DO pallet movements are being done properly.
