• Refresh inventory targets across the portfolio and ensure alignment with service expectations, demand patterns, and supply constraints
• Monitor and tune critical inventory parameters (lead times, variability, cycle stock inputs, yield factors) based on actual system performance
• Analyze inventory health (target adherence, shortages, excess, age, replenishment performance) and provide insights to planners and leaders
• Provide inventory-focused scenario analysis for demand changes, supply disruptions, or service-level shifts
• Support supply planners with modeling supply capability (RCCP, constraints, capacity modeling, yield/throughput assumptions)
• Generate dashboards and KPIs that reflect supply plan stability, attainment, constraint exposure, and readiness
• Enable S&OE/S&OP with near-term supply-demand coverage analytics, including early warning indicators
• Develop and maintain supply-focused models (scenario models, coverage calculators, constraint dashboards) for decision support
