    • Inventory Reduction & Efficiency

  • Partner with Systems and Analytics teams to enhance ERP / planning tools for inventory forecasting
  • Develop dashboards that highlight forecast accuracy, stocking coverage, E&O exposure, and inventory health
  • Document and roll out standardized inventory forecasting SOPs across the business
