- Implement and maintain inventory optimisation strategies, including safety stock and reorder parameters, to balance availability with working capital, within low cost country supply chain.
- Design and execute risk management and contingency plans across the supply chain, identifying vulnerabilities and establishing mitigation measures.
- Coordinate and manage low-cost country sourcing and supply chain operations, ensuring compliance, reliability and competitive total landed cost.
- Monitor and analyse supply chain KPIs, driving continuous improvement initiatives and leading cross-functional projects to enhance efficiency and resilience.
