2. Inventory & Stock Control

• Critical Item Monitoring: Maintain a "zero-shortage" environment by closely monitoring the stock levels of critical items and consumables.
• Stock Optimization: Balance inventory levels to prevent capital being locked in excess stock while ensuring production never halts due to lack of supplies.
• Quality Assurance: Collaborate with the Production Department to verify that received items meet quality specifications.

3. Logistics & Compliance

• Transporter Coordination: Manage relationships with transport partners to ensure timely delivery and optimized freight costs.
• Corrective Actions: Execute proper deductions and legal/commercial actions against vendors for goods received that fail to meet quality or quantity standards.
