  • Monitor exceptions (shortages, excess, obsolete stock) and take corrective action.
  • Oversee the full inventory lifecycle from introduction through to phase-out and scrapping.
  • Implement segmentation strategies (ABC/XYZ) and controls for slow-moving stock.
  • Reduce ageing inventory and prevent write-offs through proactive analysis.
  • Balance service level targets with cost-to-serve for field service parts.
