• Train, coach, and supervise a small inventory/warehouse team, fostering engagement, accountability, and strong communication.

• Support continuous improvement initiatives aimed at reducing stockouts, improving material flow, and enhancing overall warehouse efficiency.

• Prepare inventory reports, KPIs, and variance analyses to support operational decision-making.
