Logistics Planner & Coordinator (Industrial Plastics)

Narviplastx is the "Industrial Plastics" department of the Narviflex Group. In our factory in Geel we store and process plastic semi-finished products (sheets, rods, hollow rods, etc.), which we supply to companies as a whole or as processed pieces. We supply and manufacture almost everything in plastic for companies: safety fences, walkways, collision protection, plastic stairs, transparent draught curtains, machine parts, and even wall or ceiling panels for industrial renovations.

Your job as a logistics planner and coordinator:

In this job you take care of everything that has to do with timing and delivery time. You make sure that everything that has to leave for the customer today or tomorrow is also effectively ready and leaves for the customer on time.

This is a multifaceted job, with many components:

• Leadership and communication : you manage people correctly so that they know what needs to be done, there is as little chaos or confusion as possible, and that everyone is motivated and working efficiently. You directly manage the logistics team and the sawing department, and coordinate with the leaders/planners of the turning and milling department.

• Planning, communication and coordination : consult with various departments to stay informed of production orders and expected deliveries. You set priorities and keep everyone informed of progress and stock.

• Inventory management and warehouse management : you will be responsible for the entire warehouse, inventory management and the logistics process. You will manage the necessary people and ensure clarity and results. End goal: everything that needs to be delivered is in stock on time and produced on time (and qualitatively).

• Training : You provide training for your logistics team, and also indicate training needs in other teams. If everyone knows how to work optimally, everything will run more efficiently.

• Suggest and implement improvements to work as efficiently as possible and get everything done on time.

• You are physically fit and can lift a box/part up to 25kg without any problems.

Why choose this job?

• It is a fun and varied job with plenty of room for responsibility and growth, all in a growing and healthy company.
