  • Support backlog prioritization and allocation decisions based on demand, supply, and inventory availability.
  • Analyze demand and supply trends to proactively identify risks to customer service performance.
  • Perform inventory risk assessments by analyzing demand trends, inventory depletion rates, incoming supply, and customer commitments.
  • Assist in balancing customer commitments with inventory availability and operational capabilities.
Operational Excellence & Continuous Improvement
