These meetings will serve as a critical forum for collaboration, issue resolution, risk mitigation and alignment on shifting priorities and expectations for floor-level execution.
- Generate and distribute monthly inventory-related KPI reports, including metrics on inventory accuracy, cycle count performance, SAP data alignment, inventory levels, and pending inbound deliveries.
- Provide ad hoc analysis and reporting to support leadership decision-making and cross-functional initiatives
