• Monitor and forecast demand, adjusting orders and shipments to meet customer needs while minimizing excess inventory.

• Analyze logistics data, including transportation costs, delivery performance, and inventory levels, to identify improvement opportunities.

• Negotiate contracts and maintain strong relationships with vendors and carriers.

• Ensure compliance with industry regulations, safety standards, and company policies.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including procurement, sales, and production, to align supply chain operations with business objectives.

• Implement technology solutions to track shipments, inventory, and logistics performance.

• Identify and mitigate potential supply chain risks to avoid disruptions.
