• Monitor and analyse key logistics KPIs such as stock turnover, cost savings, and delivery performance.
• Handle import/export compliance and hazardous materials in accordance with customs legislation and aviation regulations.
• Implement risk management strategies for supply chain continuity and disruption mitigation.
• Maintain warranty accounts and ensure proper handling of defective parts and returns.
• Drive continuous improvement in logistics operations, reporting, and compliance.
