• Expedite, de-expedite, or adjust orders based on demand
• Maintain accurate system data including lead times, pricing, and safety stock

Inventory & Analytics

• Analyze forecast vs. actual sales trends
• Review daily usage and open PO reports
• Identify and address slow-moving or inactive inventory
• Work proactively to minimize backorders

Vendor & Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Develop alternative supply sources when needed
• Partner with Receiving, Accounting, and Operations teams
• Support new product launches and project rollouts
• Participate in Lean and continuous improvement initiatives
