Compliance & Risk Management:

Ensure inventory management practices comply with industry standards, safety regulations, and quality requirements. Develop contingency plans for potential material shortages, supply chain disruptions, or demand spikes. Implement risk management strategies to address challenges such as obsolescence, perishability, or seasonality.

Performance Monitoring & Reporting:

Provide regular reporting and insights to senior management on inventory performance, stock levels, and areas for improvement. Recommend corrective actions to address inventory issues such as excess stock, stockouts, or slow-moving inventory.
