  • Replenish incomplete kits, seal/wrap kits for shipment, process Sale‑or‑Return items, and complete put away tasks.

  • Assemble kits according to BOM (Bill of Materials) for loaner, long‑term consignment, demo, and education use; ensure correct storage and readiness for dispatch.

  • Manage kit lifecycle activities in ERP, including builds, shipments, returns, inspections, decommissioning, conversions, RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) updates, and handling of exceptions (late/lost deliveries, repairs, defective items, missing parts, quality returns).
