About The Position

• Compare item-level sales, inventory on hand, weeks of supply, distribution center stock, and orders with Kinder’s forecast, and recommend changes with Demand Planning and the customer replenishment team.
• Provide weekly reports to Sales, Planning, Customer Operations, Inventory, and Logistics covering risks, assumptions, recommended actions, and follow-up owners.

• Review lead times, order increments, presentation quantities, safety stock, transportation mode, and item setup with the Walmart Customer Operations Manager, and recommend changes for approval by the appropriate owner.
• Support new items, club programs, and item exits by forecasting club inventory needs and proposing burn-down plans to reduce markdown exposure and remaining Kinder’s inventory.
