- Monitor service level and inventory exceptions; drive replenishment actions within the distribution network
- Follow up on holds, shipments, and past-due elements that impact availability for designated products
- Propose inventory rebalancing options (e.g., between warehouses) to improve service and reduce aged stock risk
- Support decisions around non-performing inventory movements
- Contribute to planning for seasonal activities, activity management, and new product launches
- Track, analyse, and report relevant performance metrics to support improvements in cash, cost, and customer service
- Own supply-related case fill rate root cause analysis and prevention actions
