Lead cluster-level inventory governance, including deep dives on shortages, excess and obsolete inventory, and distribution-center and factory inventory days on hand. Drive alignment between production schedules, material plans, procurement actions, and inventory targets.

Balance service, cost, cash, and growth when recommending inventory and supply decisions.
