Inventory Controller

Responsible for end-to-end control of all FMCG inventory — receiving, storage, stock movement, cycle counting, and reconciliation — to ensure optimal stock accuracy, minimize shrinkage, prevent stockouts/overstock, and support timely order fulfillment. You will maintain real-time inventory records, enforce FIFO/FEFO principles, and collaborate with procurement, sales, and logistics teams to align stock levels with demand.Key Responsibilities1. Inventory Management & Control

• Maintain accurate, real-time records of all FMCG stock (raw materials, packaging, finished goods, SKUs) in the ERP/WMS system.
• Execute daily/weekly cycle counts and full monthly physical inventory audits; investigate and resolve variances promptly.
• Enforce First-In-First-Out (FIFO) and First-Expired-First-Out (FEFO) strictly — critical for perishable/short-shelf-life FMCG items.
• Monitor expiration dates, batch codes, and shelf-life; flag slow-moving, obsolete, or near-expiry stock and recommend disposal/promotion actions.
• Set and track reorder points, safety stock, and maximum stock levels per SKU; coordinate with Procurement to replenish stock and avoid shortages or excess.

2. Receiving, Issuance & Stock Movement

• Supervise and verify incoming deliveries: match quantity, quality, batch/lot numbers, and expiry dates against purchase orders and delivery notes.
• Process all stock transfers between warehouses/branches, returns, damaged goods, and write-offs with proper documentation and approval.
• Ensure all stock issues to production or dispatch to customers are authorized, accurately recorded, and traceable.
• Inspect storage conditions (temperature, ventilation, hygiene, segregation) to protect FMCG integrity and comply with food/safety standards.

3. Reporting, Analysis & Compliance

• Prepare daily/weekly/monthly inventory reports: stock levels, turnover rate, shrinkage, aging analysis, and forecast vs. actual consumption.
• Analyze stock movement trends; highlight discrepancies, inefficiencies, or bottlenecks and propose corrective actions.
• Ensure full compliance with company policies, safety standards, and relevant Philippine regulations (e.g., DTI, FDA, BIR, labor codes).
• Coordinate with Finance to reconcile inventory values and support month-end/year-end closing and audits.

4. Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with Procurement to align lead times, delivery schedules, and purchase volumes with sales forecasts.
• Partner with Sales & Operations to anticipate demand spikes (promotions, holidays) and adjust stock plans accordingly.
• Train warehouse staff on inventory procedures, FIFO/FEFO, and proper stock handling.
