• COGS & Gross Margin Management
  • Lead COGS analysis, breaking down direct material, freight-in, warehousing, batch variance, packaging, and fulfillment costs down to the SKU level.
  • Identify margin erosion drivers and lead cost-reduction initiatives across procurement contracts, batch yields, and logistics expenses.
  • Build automated Management Information Systems (MIS) dashboards to monitor SKU-level gross margins and unit economics on a real-time basis.
• Process Automation & Cross-Functional Alignment
  • Automate manual reconciliation workflows and inventory valuation frameworks within the company’s ERP system.
  • Partner with Operations, Procurement, and Commercial teams to align sales forecasting with production schedules and capital commitment plans.

• Reduction in overall Inventory Days (DSI) without triggering out-of-stock events.
