Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced ERP Manufacturing & Supply Chain Operations Specialist to manage and maintain manufacturing master data within Microsoft Dynamics 365 or a similar ERP platform. The role focuses on item and part master creation, Bill of Materials (BOM) management, engineering change implementation, and ensuring accurate ERP data for manufacturing, procurement, inventory, and production readiness.

The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience with manufacturing ERP systems, engineering data, BOM structures, and cross-functional coordination in a manufacturing or supply chain environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Create, maintain, and release item masters, part records, product structures, manufacturing BOMs, and BOM versions in Microsoft Dynamics 365 or a similar ERP system.

• Set up new parts with appropriate manufacturing, procurement, inventory, and planning attributes.

• Process approved engineering revisions, lifecycle changes, effectivity dates, component quantities, and alternate or substitute components.

• Align engineering BOMs (eBOMs) with manufacturing BOMs (mBOMs) and validate data consistency across PLM, engineering documentation, and ERP systems.

• Maintain or support manufacturing routings, operations, work centers, production parameters, MRP settings, lead times, safety stock, and make-or-buy data.

• Review released engineering drawings, specifications, and engineering change orders before creating or updating ERP master data.

• Collaborate with Engineering, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, Procurement, Quality, Finance, and IT teams to resolve data discrepancies and missing information.

• Perform master data validation, reconciliation, ERP transaction testing, production-order dry runs, and manufacturing-readiness checks.

• Investigate and resolve BOM, part setup, revision, planning, inventory, and manufacturing transaction issues.

• Maintain setup documentation, approvals, issue trackers, and status reports while escalating risks that could affect production or supply readiness.

Required Technical Skills

• 4–6 years of experience in ERP manufacturing, supply chain operations, or manufacturing master data management.

• Hands-on experience with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Supply Chain Management, Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations (F&O), or a comparable ERP platform such as SAP, Oracle, or JD Edwards.

• Experience creating and maintaining item masters, part masters, released products, BOMs, BOM versions, and product structures.

• Knowledge of part setup and release, revision control, engineering change orders, and manufacturing data management.

• Understanding of eBOM-to-mBOM alignment, routings, operations, work centers, and production orders.

• Working knowledge of MRP, inventory management, warehouse transactions, procurement, purchasing, production planning, lead times, safety stock, and make-or-buy parameters.

• Experience validating and reconciling data between PLM, engineering documentation, and ERP systems.

• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel for data validation, reconciliation, bulk-upload preparation, and issue tracking.

• Strong attention to data accuracy, traceability, documentation, and controlled change execution.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in medical device, life sciences, or other regulated manufacturing environments.

• Familiarity with medical device regulations, quality systems, and controlled documentation.

• Experience supporting ERP implementation, data migration, system testing, or manufacturing-readiness activities.

• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, product specifications, and approved change documentation.
