Take responsibility for the procurement of essential packaging and storage materials, ensuring availability to meet operational demands while managing costs. Maintain accurate and up-to-date stock records within NAV (Microsoft Dynamics NAV/Business Central), diligently investigating and resolving any discrepancies. Conduct monthly stock takes to verify inventory accuracy and perform ad-hoc stock takes as required to support business needs. Provide direct support to the Production Manager as required, assisting with operational planning, scheduling, and problem-solving to ensure smooth workflow. Collaborate with the customer service and sales teams to assist with logistical queries, provide delivery updates, and resolve any related issues promptly and professionally. Proactively identify opportunities to improve logistics processes, reduce costs, and enhance delivery efficiency. Contribute to maintaining a culture of accuracy, safety, and continuous improvement within logistics operations.
