• Monitor inventory coverage and shortage risks by reviewing stock levels, demand changes, inbound shipments, supplier confirmations, and production priorities.
• Track and manage the inbound material pipeline from supplier to European warehouse, proactively flagging delays, shortages, excess risks, and timing gaps.
