STORE OFFICER FOR STEEL MANUFACTURING

A Store Officer manages the end-to-end material flow in a steel manufacturing and moulding facility. Core responsibilities include overseeing raw materials, consumables, and spares, managing physical inventory, executing stock audits, and operating the SAP MM Module for accurate inward/outward documentation and reporting. Key Responsibilities 1. Material Receipt & Quality Inspection Unload and verify incoming raw materials (steel coils, plates, or moulding granules) against delivery challans and Purchase Orders (PO). Inspect materials for damages, defects, or deviations from technical specifications before inwarding. 2. SAP Inventory Operations Create and process Material Received Notes (MRN) and Goods Receipt Notes (GRN) directly in SAP. Manage Goods Issue (GI) slips for materials, consumables, and moulding spares requested by production shifts. Perform system updates for material transfers, stock adjustments, and scrap generation to ensure zero discrepancies in the SAP ledger. 3. Storage & Moulding Area Management Ensure safe, orderly, and hazard-free stacking of steel products and moulding components. Apply FIFO (First In, First Out) and FEFO (First Expired, First Out) methods for raw materials and consumables to prevent expiry or degradation. Track master samples and specialized moulding dies, ensuring they are stored in optimal conditions. 4. Stock Auditing & Reconciliation Conduct periodic cycle counts and routine physical verifications of inventory. Reconcile physical counts with SAP system data, identifying and resolving root causes for any variances. Generate MIS reports regarding reorder levels, slow-moving stock, and potential shortages to avoid production delays. 5. Cross-Functional Coordination Collaborate closely with the Procurement and Purchasing Department to flag low-stock items and track pending deliveries. Liaise with the Production and Quality Control Teams to ensure timely availability of raw materials and correct scrap segregation. 6. Safety & Compliance Enforce 5S methodology and plant safety regulations inside the storage area. Ensure proper use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and safe material handling equipment by store personnel.
