• Data Analysis: Analyze usage, demand patterns, lead times, transaction history, fill rates, stockouts, excess inventory, and other operational data to identify risks, trends, and improvement opportunities.
• Min/Max Management: Establish and regularly review minimum and maximum stocking levels using demand, variability, lead time, service expectations, and customer requirements; recommend and document adjustments.
• On-Hand Inventory: Monitor inventory balances, aging, shortages, excess, obsolete material, and inventory turns; coordinate actions that improve availability while controlling working capital.
• Reconciliation: Reconcile physical counts, system balances, usage, receipts, issues, returns, invoices, and customer records; research root causes and drive timely corrective actions.
• Quarterly Business Reviews: Prepare accurate QBR reporting, performance trends, savings and cost-avoidance results, inventory metrics, project updates, open issues, and recommendations; support presentation development and follow-up actions.
• Maintain project trackers, action logs, documentation, and stakeholder communications to ensure commitments, risks, and deadlines remain visible and controlled.
• Partner with internal and external stakeholders to standardize processes, resolve implementation issues, and support continuous improvement across ISG programs.
