• Strengthen supplier and production-site performance through data-driven analysis and feedback, using metrics such as fill rates and service recovery to identify gaps, drive corrective actions, and support continuous improvement.
• Influence inventory decisions across the network by communicating inventory risks, trends, and opportunities to key stakeholders and recommending strategies that improve availability, reduce waste, and enhance the overall guest experience.
