  • Maintain and review minimum and maximum inventory levels based on usage trends.
  • Perform regular cycle counts and annual physical inventory audits.
  • Update Maximo to accurately reflect inventory transactions and investigate inventory discrepancies.
  • Track inventory movements to prevent stockouts and overstock situations.
  • Ensure critical spare parts are available to support continuous plant operations.

Supplier & Vendor Management

  • Build and maintain strategic relationships with key suppliers.
  • Monitor supplier performance for quality, pricing, delivery, and responsiveness.
  • Resolve supplier issues related to quality, shortages, pricing discrepancies, and delivery delays.
  • Support supplier evaluations and continuous improvement initiatives.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Investigate and resolve purchase order discrepancies, including quantity, pricing, quality, and delivery issues, in coordination with vendors and internal stakeholders.
  • Partner with Operations and Maintenance to forecast material requirements and prioritize purchases.
  • Communicate inventory status, purchasing updates, and delivery schedules to stakeholders.
  • Support cost reduction initiatives through strategic sourcing and supplier negotiations.
  • Coordinate with Maintenance and Asset Management Planners to maintain accurate asset and spare parts as needed.
  • Ensure compliance with AIM procurement policies, purchasing procedures, and inventory control standards.
