You work proactively to identify bottlenecks in the supply chain and take measures to ensure a stable material flow. Furthermore, you are responsible for maintaining and quality-assuring item and inventory data in ERP/MRP systems, updating reorder points (ROP), and creating new item numbers in ERP and the MDM Item Portal. You also contribute to establishing and developing reorder policies considering OTIF, inventory turnover rate, MTO/MTS, and internal goals for delivery precision.
