Job Description Summary

Define and own the global process and digital standard for warehousing and material flow across Gas Power factory warehouses, repair shop warehouses, and global distribution centers. This role establishes the end-to-end standard for how materials are received, managed, and moved within these facilities, through to outbound shipment. Defines how materials move through every stage of warehouse operations and partners with a global network of site-level process owners and subject matter experts to drive consistent adoption. Partners with Digital Technology and the New Technology Introduction team on application evaluation and deployment.

Job Description

Key Responsibilities

Global Standard Definition & GPDA Authority

• Define and own the global process and digital blueprint for warehousing and material flow across Gas Power factory warehouses, repair shop warehouses, and global distribution centers. Establish the global standard and partner with local teams to adopt and implement it consistently across all sites. Benchmark against industry standards and emerging best practices to ensure the global blueprint reflects leading warehouse and material flow operations, not only current state.

• Ensure the global standard reflects current and target-state warehouse and material flow processes, spanning both physical operations and the digital tools that support them. Own the standard update process, ensuring changes are communicated and adopted across the network.

• Partner with other process owners and Global Process Digital Authorities where material flow intersects with production execution, quality, and planning and scheduling. Partner with the Lean organization to ensure digital standards reinforce and enable lean material flow principles, including pull replenishment and supermarket design.

Process Scope, Technology & Digital Technology Partnership

• Translate warehousing and material flow process standards into functional requirements across the full scope: Advance Shipping Notices and inbound scheduling, receiving and inspection, put-away and storage, picking and kitting, factory supermarkets, Kanban and line replenishment, outbound staging, and outbound shipment execution in distribution centers.

• Evaluate and introduce operational technologies that improve safety, quality, and delivery performance across warehouse operations, including automation, sensing, and data capture technologies. Partner with the New Technology Introduction team to ensure new tools are evaluated rigorously and proven before deployment.

• Co-own application selection and solution design with Digital Technology and the New Technology Introduction team. Partner with the Master Data Governance team to confirm warehouse management system data fields and ERP integration standards, covering inventory movements, goods receipts, transfer orders, and replenishment signals, align to global data standards before go-live.

Site Network, Adoption & Continuous Improvement

• Build and coordinate a global network of site-level process owners and subject matter experts who implement and sustain the global standard locally across factory warehouses, repair shop warehouses, and distribution centers. Lead a formal Community of Practice to drive adoption, propagate improvements across sites, and prevent local workarounds from becoming embedded practice.

• Serve as the primary escalation point when sites diverge from the global standard. Monitor post-deployment usage and outcomes to identify gaps between the standard and actual warehouse and material flow execution, and drive updates through a controlled change process.

• Own frontline adoption metrics for warehousing and material flow digital tools. Conduct process walks at each site before deployment to validate readiness, and develop training materials and job aids aligned to the global standard. Ensure lessons learned from each site are fed back into the global standard so every subsequent deployment is faster and more effective.

 

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Business, Supply Chain, or a related technical field.

• 7+ years in warehousing, materials management, or supply chain operations in an industrial or manufacturing environment, with direct accountability for process standards or operational improvement.

• Hands-on experience with warehouse management systems across inbound, storage, and outbound flows in a manufacturing or distribution environment.

• Proven experience defining process standards a
