Execute Collaborative Planning, Forecasting, and Replenishment (CPFR) touchpoints in alignment with departmental guidelines. Perform root-cause analysis on supplier On-Time In-Full (OTIF) delivery failures and lead-time variances, and execute coverstock orders or expedited freight solutions to protect customer fulfillment when primary supply lines face delays.
Optimize Multi-Node Inventory Flow & Network Balancing
Manage multi-site inventory positioning and stock allocation across all fulfillment nodes, including Connecticut, Arizona, and the new Jacksonville, FL distribution center. Direct supply planning execution for the Jacksonville DC launch, scaling operations to manage a 50% increase in network SKU-Site combinations. Execute warehouse-to-warehouse inventory transfer recommendations to resolve localized backorders, optimize regional asset utilization, and reduce out-of-region freight expenses.
Maintain System Hygiene & Process Execution
Drive operational discipline by executing standardized department SOPs, including Open PO Hygiene, Rec Sheet updates, and system-wide reconciliation between StockIQ, Coresense ERP, and Sigma BI dashboards. Conduct monthly PO clean-up logic to close aged or inactive purchase orders, clear legacy system noise, and escalate problem SKUs or vendor performance issues to leadership. Support product lifecycle execution, including New Product Introductions (NPI) and SKU rationalization.
