Purchasing Manager

The Purchasing Manager is responsible for sourcing, ordering, and maintaining supply continuity for all production-related materials used in an injection molding environment. This includes raw resin, colorants, additives, packaging, MRO supplies, and outside-service components. This role ensures competitive pricing, reliable vendor performance, and on-time delivery to support a 24/5 manufacturing schedule across 18 injection molding machines.

The Purchasing Specialist works closely with Scheduling, Materials, Quality, and Engineering to support efficient production flow and customer on-time delivery.

Key Responsibilities

Procurement & Material Ordering

  • Source and purchase resins, colorants, additives, and packaging used in molding operations.
  • Issue purchase orders (POs) based on inventory levels, production schedules, and forecasted demand.
  • Maintain safety stock levels and prevent shortages that could interrupt production.
  • Manage emergency orders during resin deviations, material changes, or expedited customer needs.
  • Evaluate alternate materials or suppliers as needed for cost or availability.

Supplier Management

  • Build and maintain strong relationships with resin suppliers, compounders, packaging vendors, and service providers.
  • Obtain quotes, negotiate prices, and secure competitive terms.
  • Track vendor performance (on-time delivery, accuracy, quality issues).
  • Coordinate with Quality for supplier selection, audits, and corrective actions.

Inventory & ERP Accuracy

  • Monitor resin and material usage through ERP/MRP systems.
  • Update material costs, lead times, and supplier data.
  • Review inventory consumption trends and align orders with production demand.
  • Assist Materials Manager with reconciling discrepancies in raw material counts.

Production Coordination

  • Work closely with Production Scheduler to ensure adequate materials for upcoming runs.
  • Respond quickly to material shortages or blend issues at the machines.
  • Support Engineering with material trials, sample orders, and new tooling launches.
  • Communicate material arrival status to shift supervisors and materials handlers.

Cost Management & Analysis

  • Track resin market trends, surcharges, and cost changes.
  • Analyze spending data and develop cost-reduction opportunities.
  • Support annual budgeting and price forecasting.
  • Compare supplier quotes and document decision rationale.

Documentation & Compliance

  • Maintain accurate PO files, COAs, MSDS, REACH/RoHS compliance documents, and supplier certifications.
  • Ensure materials meet customer and regulatory requirements.
  • Assist with PPAP certifications by securing required material documentation.
  • Follow purchasing policies to comply with ISO 9001 or IATF standards (if applicable).

Qualifications

Required

  • 24 years of purchasing or supply-chain experience (manufacturing preferred).
  • Understanding of raw materials (especially plastics resin).
  • Experience with ERP/MRP systems (Epicor, IQMS, SAP, etc.).
  • Strong negotiation, organizational, and communication skills.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced production environment.

Preferred

  • Experience in injection molding or plastics manufacturing.
  • Knowledge of resin market pricing, material handling equipment, and common molding materials (PP, PE, ABS, PC, nylon, etc.).
  • Familiarity with ISO 9001, IATF 16949, or other quality systems.
  • Basic understanding of inventory control, logistics, and warehouse operations.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

  • On-time supplier delivery performance
  • Purchase price variance (PPV)
  • Resin/material shortage incidents
  • Inventory accuracy related to purchased goods
  • Supplier quality performance
  • Material cost savings initiatives
