About the job
In this position, you develop an optimized inventory plan for products, product lines and segments based on demand, actual orders, network lead times, available inventory and cost structure. You work hands-on with our finished goods inventory and you manage the rules and directives on how to control, improve, drive and follow up our inventory performance – all in close collaboration with our commercial organization, logistics planning and other supply chain functions. To be able to fulfill our customers demand you need to ensure the right amount of finished goods inventory and, at the same time, minimize stock levels and supply chain costs to help us establish a more profitable future. By providing accurate information and reliable data, you identify opportunities to improve our inventory efficiency and you support decision-making regarding our inventory plans.
