• Inventory Assurance Leader: You run an effective cycle-count and reconciliation process, analyze variances, control adjustments, protect traceability, and ensure corrective actions eliminate recurrence.
• System Governance Builder: You define plant ERP standard work, roles, access, training, backups, escalation, and evidence. You work with IT and application experts to remove barriers without creating shadow systems.
• Lean Data-Integrity Champion: You simplify transactions, eliminate duplicate work, improve first-time accuracy, and make data quality visible through daily management and root cause problem solving.
