4 days ago Requisition

Salary Range: $ To $ Annually

Dynamic Manufacturing, Inc. is hiring a EDI and MRP Lead Analyst to join our growing team! The EDI and MRP Lead Analyst is the subject-matter expert and technical lead for electronic data interchange (EDI) and material requirements planning (MRP) within our IFS Cloud ERP environment, supporting an automotive supplier operation serving OEM and Tier 1 customers. This role leads end-to-end EDI processes across trading partners and internal teams, and owns the configuration, daily support, and continuous improvement of customer and supplier schedule processing and ASN compliance.

The role manages EDI implementation projects, ensures the reliable exchange of business-critical data, and drives efficiency across supply chain operations while delivering exceptional service to internal and external customers. The ideal candidate is highly motivated and detail-oriented, and understands the high-volume, zero-defect nature of automotive supply, where release accuracy, cum management, and ASN compliance directly affect customer scorecards, chargebacks, and line-down risk.

At Dynamic Manufacturing, we offer:

• Opportunities for Advancement
• Tuition Reimbursement
• Competitive Pay (we pay weekly!)
• Generous Paid Time Off, and more!

Duties/Responsibilities:

• Lead the end-to-end processing of automotive EDI transactions in IFS Cloud, including planning schedules (830 / DELFOR), shipping and JIT schedules (862 / DELJIT), advance ship notices (856 / DESADV), application advice (824), self-billing and remittance (820 / REMADV), inventory report (846 / INVRPT), and purchase orders (850) where applicable.
• Configure and maintain IFS Cloud Customer Scheduling, including customer schedule agreements, firm and planned release handling, schedule consumption, and cumulative (cum) quantity tracking and reconciliation, including model-year cum resets.
• Support European and global standards as required, including Odette and VDA message formats.
• Work with EDI and ERP partners to design, build, test, and maintain EDI translation maps (ANSI X12, UN/EDIFACT, and related standards).
• Connectivity and error monitoring (997, 824, CONTRL, APERAK, 861 / REMADV)
• Lead end-to-end onboarding of new trading partners, customers, and programs, including specification reviews, mapping, testing, certification, and go-live deployment.
• Connect EDI data flows into IFS Cloud and other enterprise systems (e.g., WMS) using Open Text and other integration tools.
• Ensure ASN accuracy and timeliness, including handling unit and packaging setup in IFS Cloud, container and pack quantities, and compliant shipping labels (AIAG B-10, Odette/GTL, or customer-specific formats).
• Monitor daily EDI traffic and customer releases; triage and immediately resolve rejected or failed transactions, transmission errors, AS2/SFTP certificate expirations, VAN mailbox issues, and ERP/WMS handoff failures; and work with shipping and customer service to prevent ASN errors, premium freight, and chargebacks.
• Configure and support Supplier Scheduling in IFS Cloud to send planning and shipping schedules to Tier 1 suppliers, and support evaluated receipt settlement (ERS) and self-billing processes.
• Manage the EDI translator/VAN provider (Open Text) and OEM supplier portals (e.g., GM Supply Power, Ford Supplier Portal, Stellantis eSupplierConnect).
• Establish and maintain strong relationships with key ERP and EDI vendors and partners, including IFS partners, and develop a nuanced understanding of strategic vendors' roadmaps and support structures and how they will support the company's business objectives.
• Ensure customer releases flow accurately into MS/MRP, including appropriate treatment of firm vs. forecast demand and schedule volatility.
• Support kanban, repetitive production, and pull-based replenishment where used, alongside MRP-driven planning.
• Partner with planning, materials, purchasing, production, and logistics teams so that planned orders, supplier schedules, and action messages are accurate and actionable.
• Monitor and correct all customer order processing errors.
• Serve as technical and functional lead for new program launches, EDI and planning implementation projects, and IFS Cloud release updates, including regression testing of scheduling and EDI flows with each release.
• Gather and translate business requirements into functional specifications, configurations, and solution…
