Data Integrity & Systems
- Ensure clean master data and transaction discipline across GRN, put-away, binning, issue, transfer, return, and reservation processes within CMMS and ERP systems.
- Build and maintain dashboards and reports covering inventory value, turns, service levels, stock-out events, dead stock, and supplier performance.
- Partner with IT and Systems teams to enhance barcode or RFID usage, bin-location management, and scanning discipline on the shop floor.
Financial & Compliance Controls
- Support inventory valuation using moving average or standard cost methods, provisions for slow or obsolete stock, and audit readiness.
- Enforce standard operating procedures, delegation of authority, three-way matching (PO–GRN–Invoice), segregation of duties, and PTW/LOTO discipline for maintenance materials.
- Work with Finance to reconcile GR/IR, manage price variances, and ensure accuracy during month-end close.
Vendor & Lead-Time Performance
- Track supplier OTIF (On-Time In-Full), lead times, and quality issues, and provide insights to Procurement for expediting and vendor improvement.
- Recommend VMI or consignment arrangements, localization for critical spares and consumables, and MOQ optimization to balance cost and availability.
Process Improvement & Projects
- Drive Lean and Kaizen initiatives in store layout, binning, kitting, line-side staging, and transactional speed and accuracy.
