Director, Warehouse Operations & Production SupplyActive$292K
The opportunity
The Global Material Movement team is responsible for every movement of material from a supplier's dock to the point of use on Anduril's production lines. We receive, inspect, store, count, kit and deliver the parts that build Anduril's products, and we hold custody of government property along the way.
What you'll do
Run daily operations across our headquarters and Orange County sites: receiving, put away, storage, picking, kitting, line side delivery, and outbound shipping to other Anduril sites and to deployment.
Own the result production cares about most: zero line stoppages caused by material, with dock to stock, kit on time and line side fill rate held to the service levels agreed with each production team. Every miss gets an A3 with a root cause, a countermeasure, an owner and a date.
Run the operation from data. Build the daily view of labor, productivity by: process, backlog and service level by site, pulled from the system rather than from spreadsheets, and use it to staff every shift.
Lead from the floor through daily Gemba walks, tier meetings at every site,: and a steady pace of kaizen events that each target a measured problem.
Own safety and cost at every site you run: zero recordables as the standard, the operating budget for labor, overtime, supplies and equipment, and cost per unit handled reported monthly to Finance.
Hold transaction discipline and location control in every flow you run, so: the counts run by our Inventory Control and Quality Assurance team find nothing to fix. Execute quality at the point of handling: receiving checks, damage prevention and segregation of nonconforming material.
