Nonconforming Materials & ERP Traceability Coordinator

Shape the Flow of Quality—from the Shop Floor to the System

As the Nonconforming Materials & ERP Traceability Coordinator, you connect plant inspection activities with corporate teams to keep product moving and records precise. You will own the lifecycle of the Nonconforming Material Report (NCMR) System—ensuring each record is opened correctly, advanced promptly, and closed with solid disposition decisions, root cause analysis, and corrective/preventive actions. By aligning NCMR data with our ERP (including LN), you’ll protect inventory accuracy, maintain material traceability, and keep physical movement synchronized with system transactions—supporting smooth production flow, on-time delivery, and conformance to quality requirements.

A day in this role

Your morning might begin by reviewing new NCMRs from Inspectors on the line, verifying details, and coordinating quarantines in the ERP. Midday, you’re partnering with Quality Leadership to confirm the effectiveness of recent corrective actions, then working with Project Managers, Purchasing, and Production to finalize dispositions and plan rework or returns. In the afternoon, you’ll orchestrate the movement of nonconforming materials across production, warehouses (including the Cycle Counting Team), and receiving areas—ensuring physical transfers match approved dispositions and that every transaction is mirrored in the ERP. Throughout, you’re communicating with Supply Chain and Quality teams, preparing the operation for audits, and teeing up maintenance tickets for quality support when needed.

• Administer the NCMR System: create, validate, progress, and close NCMR records with timeliness and accuracy.
• Coordinate and track dispositions, root cause analysis, and corrective & preventive actions with Quality Management, Project Managers, Purchasing, and Production.
