- Demand analysis: Analyse historical usage, sales trends, customer forecasts and seasonal demand to identify changes in stock requirements.
- Stock shortage prevention: Flag potential shortages early and coordinate with Purchasing, Sales and Production to resolve supply risks.
- Excess stock reduction: Identify overstocked products, investigate the causes and recommend actions such as reducing purchases, transferring stock or working with Sales to clear stock.
- Customer-specific stock: Monitor stock held for individual customers against forecasts and agreed stockholding requirements, highlighting changes in usage and potential obsolete stock.
- Purchasing recommendations: Account for minimum order quantities, pack sizes, freight considerations and lead times when recommending replenishment.
- Inventory accuracy: Investigate discrepancies, unusual stock movements and negative balances, supporting stocktakes and cycle counts.
- Management reporting: Provide concise reports on stock value, stock turnover, stock coverage, shortages, excess inventory and actions required.

- Strong Excel skills and experience using inventory or ERP systems.
