ABOUT THE ROLE

6. Evaluate and optimise inventory strategies to ensure high availability while minimising cost and excess stock.

7. Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure plans are aligned, feasible, and delivered to meet customer expectations.

8. Participate in business reviews, operational meetings, and continuous improvement activities.

9. Adhere to relevant policies, processes, and governance frameworks across the supply chain.
