• Inventory performance : forecast annually and monthly, report status, and drive corrective actions to achieve optimal levels.
• Team leadership : manage Production Planning and Inventory Control teams; coordinate department-wide training and knowledge sharing.
• Continuous improvement : champion materials process enhancements using Lean / Six Sigma methods; partner with stakeholders to execute CI projects.
• Operational rigor : help design metrics, set targets, and hold the organization accountable for results.
