• Monitor, analyze, and optimize KPIs such as inventory turns, days of inventory, obsolescence, and stockouts
• Lead initiatives to reduce working capital tied up in inventory
• Oversee inbound and outbound logistics operations: transportation management, loading, freight claims, carrier relationships, and customs if applicable
• Collaborate with warehousing, material handling, and shipping teams to streamline flows
• Use Lean, Six Sigma, or other continuous improvement methods to eliminate waste, reduce lead times, and improve flow
• Lead cross-functional projects (e.g., ERP enhancements, process automation, S&OP integration)
• Standardize and document supply chain processes and best practices
• Manage budget, cost control, and capital expenditures in your domain
• Act as the supply chain liaison to sales, customer service, operations, finance, quality, and engineering
