Your day starts by reviewing dashboards and exception reports-late inbound shipments, inventory variances, open RMAs, and any dock schedule conflicts. Mid-morning, you connect with key suppliers and carriers to confirm ETAs, address shortages, and clear receiving discrepancies. After lunch, you dig into KPI trends (on-time delivery, order accuracy, damage/return turnaround) and turn findings into practical adjustments for the warehouse and fulfillment workflow. Late afternoon is reserved for cross-team check-ins to confirm upcoming demand and constraints, then you wrap by updating stakeholders with concise status notes and preparing a brief performance readout for leadership.

• Analyze supply chain data, key performance indicators (KPIs), and metrics to identify trends, risks, and areas for improvement.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including Sales, Finance, and Production to align supply chain activities with business needs.
• Lead demand forecasting and capacity planning efforts to support business growth and seasonal fluctuations.
• Identify and mitigate supply chain risks including disruptions, quality issues, and compliance concerns.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives using Lean, Six Sigma, or other methodologies to enhance supply chain performance.
• Ensure compliance with all applicable regulations, trade laws, and company policies.
• Prepare and present regular reports on supply chain performance, cost savings, and operational efficiency to senior leadership.
• Oversee daily shipping operations including carrier selection, freight negotiations, shipment tracking, and delivery scheduling to ensure cost-effective and timely distribution.
• Manage receiving operations including inspection, verification, and documentation of incoming materials and goods against purchase orders and quality standards.
• Develop and administer the returns and reverse logistics process, including RMA authorization, product disposition, warranty claims, and vendor credit reconciliation.
• Ensure accurate documentation and record-keeping for all shipping, receiving, and returns transactions in accordance with company policies and regulatory requirements.
• Monitor shipping and receiving KPIs such as on-time delivery rates, order accuracy, damage rates, and return turnaround times to drive operational improvements.

• Other duties may be assigned.
