2. Demand Forecasting & Strategic Planning

• Predictive Modeling: Utilize historical data and emerging market trends to develop precise demand forecasts.

• Buffer Management: Establish and refine Reorder Points (ROP) and Safety Stock levels to prevent stockouts without over-investing in capital.

• Procurement Alignment: Partner with the purchasing team to synchronize vendor lead times with forecasted demand.

3. Process Innovation & Cross-Functional Leadership

• Cost Reduction: Implement rigorous inventory control procedures to minimize waste, obsolescence, and shrinkage.

• Automation Advocacy: Support the rollout of digital tools and automation to enhance the speed and accuracy of stock movements.

• Strategic Reporting: Prepare executive-level dashboards that link inventory performance to broader financial goals and product launch success.
