Compare local suppliers (quality, lead time, cost).
Occasionally pick up urgent parts to avoid downtime.
Cost improvement & housekeeping
Identify obvious cost-saving opportunities:
Consolidate orders to save on shipping.
Find equivalent parts from cheaper/local suppliers.
Reduce obsolete or slow-moving inventory.
Suggest small process improvements (labeling, storage layout, reorder points, etc.).
Help maintain simple documentation: preferred vendor list, part lists, pricing history.
Requirements:
Lives within 5–10 (max 15) miles of your location and comfortable driving 2–3 times per week.
Valid driver’s license, reliable car.
Comfortable in a small manufacturing/warehouse environment (light lifting, walking, being around machines).
