Warehouse Coordinator

The Warehouse Coordinator is a tactical, data-driven execution role responsible for monitoring daily warehouse performance, identifying operational risks, and driving corrective actions to protect inventory accuracy, material flow, and production support.

While the Warehouse Supervisor focuses on strategic direction, manpower planning, safety, and accountability, the Warehouse Coordinator owns the tactical layer of warehouse execution — analyzing trends, fixing systemic issues, identifying training gaps, and stabilizing processes and system behavior.

This role serves as the primary problem solver and execution analyst within warehouse operations, bridging data, systems, and floor execution to drive continuous improvement and process discipline.

• Coordinate recovery actions to protect material availability and production schedules

Analyze daily and weekly warehouse performance data, including:

• Inventory adjustments
