  • Conduct regular counts of products, materials, and packaging.
  • Maintain detailed records of all inventories.
  • Reorganize and reposition inventory to meet FIFO/FEFO standards.
  • Manage short-shelf-life ingredients to maximize usage.
  • Oversee freezer shipments to avoid product expiration.
  • Establish policies and practices to prevent write-offs and improve inventory management.

  • Propose strategies to reduce costs and improve supply chain logistics.
  • Evaluate deliveries, shipments, and product levels to enhance inventory control.
  • Audit inventory control processes and track performance.
  • Support supplier evaluation through data analysis and trend monitoring to improve relationships, costs, and service levels.
  • Prepare and present reports, communicate findings, and provide data analysis to management.
  • Support retail store inventory requirements.
