• Operate forklifts, pallet jacks, carts, scanners, and other equipment when trained and authorized.
• Inspect material-handling equipment and report unsafe or damaged conditions.
• Follow standard work, 5S practices, Lean principles, PPE requirements, and all plant safety procedures.

• Communicate production needs, delays, shortages, and other risks to the Materials Supervisor or appropriate team member.
• Work effectively with Production, Warehouse, Inventory Control, Planning, Quality, and other departments.
