  • Partner with the Replenishment teams to define and deploy specific inventory processes for contingency sites to maintain best practices
  • Continuous Improvement: Identify and manage optimal changes in inventory flows and contingency plans to enhance network resilience

Requirements:

  • Strong operational experience in inventory management with a focus on transition management
  • Advanced proficiency in SAP and WMS/WCS interfaces
