• Forecasting: Collaborate with the commercial team to maintain accurate forecasts for finished goods and raw materials, driving replenishment and MRP processes.
• Stock Management: Report precise stock positions to keep the business informed about shelf life, stock rotation, obsolete items, excess, and slow-moving stock.
• Purchase Orders: Create purchase orders for reordering products from suppliers, considering lead times and forecast requirements to achieve target stock levels.
• Negotiation: Negotiate with suppliers to ensure timely delivery of purchase orders in line with expectations.
• Production Planning: Develop plans to convert raw materials into finished products through our UK factory operations, maintaining agreed stock levels.
• Product Lifecycle: Communicate activities related to product introductions and exits to minimise waste.
