• Set preferred stock levels, prevent excess or obsolete inventory, and manage inventory days, write-offs, and slow-moving stock.

• Maintain accurate SAP master data and process orders to support scheduling, planning, and reporting accuracy.
• Track and report key performance indicators across both sites, including capacity loading, production-to-plan, delivery-to-promise, inventory levels, and slow-moving/obsolete stock.
