As a key member of our team, you will be responsible for managing inventory purchasing and levels to balance investment targets with customer service level targets. Your focus will be on finished goods inventory management, rather than raw materials or work in progress at manufacturing sites.
You will work closely with sales, planning, and logistics functions to ensure effective communication and compliance. You will decide what gets stocked in each warehouse, categorize items by importance and speed of sale, and set safety stock levels that balance customer service with cost. You will also fine-tune order quantities and lead times for smooth purchasing.
You will be a keen analyst, review Forward Order Approvals for finished goods, dissecting inventory quality, settings, and KPIs to identify optimization opportunities and recommend adjustments that keep our inventory symphony in perfect pitch.
