Based at our Chippewa Falls Distribution Center, this newly created role will focus on identifying opportunities, improving processes, and implementing sustainable solutions that strengthen distribution performance. You'll work closely with Operations leaders and frontline Team Members while playing a key role in implementing our Manhattan Labor Management System (LMS) and ultimately serving as its primary business owner. This is an onsite position with approximately 10–15% travel to our other Wisconsin distribution centers.
Partner with Distribution Center leaders and frontline Team Members to evaluate workflows, identify inefficiencies, and implement practical improvements that increase productivity and operational performance.
Lead Continuous Improvement initiatives from initial analysis through implementation, using Lean methodologies, process mapping, root-cause analysis, and operational data to drive measurable results.
Analyze warehouse processes, inventory movement, labor productivity, and key performance indicators to identify bottlenecks, reduce waste, and improve operational efficiency.
Support the implementation of Fleet Farm's Manhattan Labor Management System (LMS), ensuring system capabilities align with operational processes and business needs.
Serve as the primary business owner of the LMS following implementation, maintaining engineered labor standards, warehouse coordinate maps, and system accuracy as operations evolve.
Collaborate with Operations, Supply Chain, IT, and other cross-functional teams to evaluate new technologies, improve processes, and ensure changes are practical and sustainable.
Support Continuous Improvement efforts across Fleet Farm's Chippewa Falls, Appleton, and Oak Creek distribution centers, communicating recommendations, tracking results, and driving ongoing improvements.
Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain, Industrial Engineering, or a related field strongly preferred, with 3–5 years of experience leading or supporting Continuous Improvement initiatives.
Hands-on experience in distribution, warehousing, manufacturing, or a similar operational environment, with a strong understanding of labor productivity, inventory flow, and operational processes.
Experience applying Continuous Improvement methodologies, including Lean, process mapping, root-cause analysis, time studies, and performance measurement to implement sustainable solutions.
Familiarity with Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), Labor Management Systems (LMS), and engineered labor standards strongly preferred; Manhattan WMS/LMS experience is a plus.
Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills, with proficiency in Microsoft Excel and the ability to use operational data to influence decisions and drive improvements.
At Fleet Farm, we don't just sell products — we're a part of the community. Join a team that values collaboration, innovation, and delivering exceptional experiences for our customers. As our Continuous Improvement Manager, you'll have the opportunity to shape operational improvements, support the implementation of new technology, and make a measurable impact across our distribution network.
