Logistics Team Lead

Direct Personnel

Logistics team leaders oversee the activities of shipping, receiving, and warehouse personnel. Logistics team leaders develop and maintain schedules, onboard new hires, and set department goals based on company expectations. They also evaluate employee performance to ensure that the entire team runs efficiently while providing guidance to make team members more effective.

Oversee Shipping, Receiving, and Warehousing of Products

Logistics team leaders play an important role in the shipping and receiving processes, directly contributing to warehouse activities during busy periods to ensure a high level of customer service and preventing teams from falling behind during high-order volume time periods.

Monitor Key Performance Indicators

Logistics team leaders support overall performance and efficiency by developing and monitoring key performance indicators (KPIs) throughout shipping, receiving, and warehousing cycles. They review and revise these KPIs based on many factors, including order volume and personnel levels. Logistics team leaders are responsible for ensuring that their teams understand expectations and consistently meet or exceed KPIs.

Manage Inventory Levels

Logistics team leaders manage inventory levels, ensuring that changes in inventory are promptly and accurately recorded in internal supply chain systems. In the case of an inventory discrepancy, logistics team leaders confer with team members and across departments to determine the source of the issue and resolve it.
