The Ask? Client is looking for a SAP EWM Architect / Lead with extensive experience in integration, industrial engineering methodologies, production logistics, inventory control, lean material flow, warehouse optimization, and manufacturing support operations. This role supports high-throughput manufacturing operations through scalable logistics infrastructures, real-time inventory accuracy, optimized material movement, and zero-disruption production support.

Skills and Experience

• Minimum 14+ years of progressive experience in warehouse engineering, manufacturing logistics, SAP EWM/WM systems, lean material flow, production logistics engineering, warehouse optimization, and inventory control within high-volume manufacturing environments.
• Advanced expertise in SAP EWM/WM/MM, warehouse slotting optimization, BOM-driven material staging, lean replenishment systems, inventory control engineering, warehouse layout optimization, and material flow analysis.
• Strong technical knowledge of material handling systems, production supply systems, logistics modeling, and facility layout engineering required.
• Forklift and Drexel operational knowledge preferred

Roles and Responsibilities:

• Design and implement lean visual warehouse systems utilizing fixed-bin structures, supermarket replenishment models, FIFO-controlled material flow, point-of-use inventory strategies, flow racks, VMIL/heavy-part staging areas, and standardized warehouse zoning.
• Develop warehouse slotting strategies based on velocity analysis, BOM frequency, travel-time reduction, cubic utilization, and ABC classification principles.
• Establish engineered standards for warehouse aisles, storage systems, dock-to-line movement, operator ergonomics, equipment charging stations, and material presentation systems.
• Lead warehouse redesign initiatives involving facility layout optimization, throughput balancing, capacity modeling, warehouse consolidation, and material flow simulation.
• Own SAP/EWM warehouse alignment including storage types, bin structures, putaway logic, picking strategies, replenishment triggers, warehouse task sequencing, and backflush controls.
• Establish full digital traceability between physical inventory and SAP warehouse architecture.
• Develop standardized SAP transaction workflows supporting receiving, putaway, kitting, production staging, line-side replenishment, cycle counting, inventory reconciliation, and backflush execution.
• Design BOM-driven pick logic and station-level material allocation methodologies while eliminating transactional discrepancies through engineered inventory control processes and real-time material validation.
• Architect structured material flow systems from receiving docks through warehouse supermarkets, production supply areas, line-side presentation, replenishment, and reverse logistics/backflush operations
• Lead engineering selection and optimization of forklifts, Drexel equipment, tugger systems, flow racks, lift-assist devices, ergonomic material presentation systems, and heavy-part handling equipment.
• Analyze and optimize equipment utilization, travel paths, empty travel time, dock utilization, loading efficiency, and material transfer latency. Develop standards for transport systems, material handling constraints, facility traffic patterns, storage density, safety clearances, and ergonomic access zones.
• Apply warehouse engineering methodologies including time studies, capacity analysis, motion analysis, spaghetti mapping, value stream mapping, process simulation, and throughput analysis to optimize warehouse and logistics performance.
