Minimise value of stocks, stores and wip by ensuring materials supply is co-ordinated and is linked closely to the production (capacity) plan
Work closely with the Planning Department to ensure materials are available to satisfy the demands of the production plan
Maintain an intimate knowledge of the EFACS purchasing and materials systems. Develop & maintain a thorough knowledge of all other relevant Company EFACS systems particularly those which are used by, or extract data from, the purchasing and materials systems. Thoroughly understand the links between various EFACS modules and what common data is used by EFACS
Ensure purchasing budgets are beaten or, at worst, met. Report on performance of the Department in meeting targets
Staffing
Ensure all staff are properly trained
Ensure all staff have job descriptions and understand their responsibilities and accountabilities
Ensure all staff understand the importance of their jobs and are fully motivated
Ensure all staff are set agreed performance targets and are routinely assessed
