Production Merchandiser

Job Summary: A Production Merchandiser is responsible for overseeing and coordinating the production of garments from the initial stages to final delivery. This role involves working closely with various departments, suppliers, and manufacturers to ensure the smooth and timely production of high-quality garments. BOM creation is critical to this role, as it specifies the materials and components required for garment production.

What You’ll Do

• BOM Creation: Create and maintain an accurate Bill of Materials (BOM) for each garment style. This includes specifying the type and quantity of fabrics, trims, buttons, zippers, labels, and other materials needed for production. Ensure that BOMs are current and reflect any design or specification changes.
• Costing: Calculate the cost of materials and components listed in the BOM to determine the overall production cost for each garment style. This involves negotiating prices with suppliers and obtaining cost-effective materials.
• Supplier Management: Identify and evaluate potential suppliers for fabrics, trims, and other materials required for garment production. Develop and maintain strong relationships with suppliers to ensure a reliable supply chain.
• Production Planning: Collaborate with production managers and planners to create production schedules that align with order deadlines and capacity constraints. Ensure that the required materials are available when needed to avoid delays.
• Inventory Management: Track inventory levels for materials and components, ensuring sufficient quantities are on hand to meet production demands without overstocking.
• Cost Analysis: Continuously analyze production costs, identify areas for cost reduction, and implement cost-saving measures while maintaining product quality.
• Documentation: Maintain accurate records of BOMs, supplier communications, cost calculations, and production schedules. Ensure all documentation is organized and easily accessible.
