Maintaining effective, accurate parts inventory control systems to meet internal/external customer needs.
Coordinating stock orders and special terms ordering for applicable parts & accessory inventories.
Maximizing vendor discount programs, terms, and shipping cost reduction offerings.
Ensuring overstock is transferred between branches when applicable and that divisional inventory is used effectively.
Managing centralized stocking for items where single-branch demand is limited but enterprise demand requires availability.
Maintaining stocking and scrapping policies based on group and branch demand; maximizing surplus return privileges with vendors.
Monitoring pricing strategies relative to market conditions and making improvement recommendations.
Coordinating vendor purchasing correspondence using purchase order and File Bound payment systems to keep accounts in good standing.
Coordinating/assisting with cycle counts and annual physical inventory counts, supporting regular back-order analysis.
