  • Demonstrated experience with FlexSim or AnyLogic for simulation modeling and optimization
  • Programming skills in Python, R, or similar languages for data manipulation and analysis
  • Experience with supply chain network design
  • Experience with layouts in AutoCAD

Responsibilities

  • Design innovative material flow strategies for a wide variety of finished goods and raw materials
  • Develop and maintain discrete event simulation (DES) models for outbound logistics processes
  • Conduct scenario analysis and 'what-if' studies to evaluate different outbound process configurations
  • Improve/Design models to aid with predicting material handling labor, warehouse space, and material handling equipment
  • Partner with manufacturing, logistics, supply chain, and programs teams to understand process requirements and constraints
  • Challenge the assumptions behind manufacturing designs based on first principles approach
  • Collaborate with Manufacturing and Factory Design layout teams to design detailed material flow layouts
  • Develop innovative, cost-effective solutions in automated and manual solutions
  • Design conceptual layouts to aid with analysis
