A Typical Day

Your day is spent onsite in DeForest, working closely with manufacturing and planning while monitoring open orders and supplier confirmations. You’ll review system updates in the ERP, respond to questions from internal teams, and keep purchasing documentation current and audit-ready. Throughout the day, you’ll balance routine follow-up with time-sensitive needs—tracking inbound materials, addressing shortages, and coordinating changes as requirements shift. You’ll also use standard work instructions and available tools to keep information accurate, communication clear, and priorities aligned through the workday.
