• Ensure accurate item-level inventory visibility across multiple warehouse and manufacturing locations.
• Support improvements to ERP workflows, reporting, and operational processes.

• Monitor key supply chain metrics, including inventory accuracy, stock availability, production adherence, and on-time fulfillment.
• Identify operational bottlenecks and recommend solutions to improve efficiency.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Sales, Finance, and Operations to support business growth.
