• Analyse slow-moving and obsolete stock and support disposal or recovery actions
• Support continuous improvement of store layout, workflows, and inventory accuracy
• Ensure spare parts availability aligns with planned maintenance schedules and S&OP outcomes
• Maintain and improve planning systems, PMs, BOMs, and spare parts structures
• Prepare weekly, monthly, and annual forecasts for committed spend and goods issued/received
