• Monitor inventory levels for finished goods and service parts, flag risks early, and help drive mitigation plans
• Work closely with procurement, suppliers, and third‑party assemblers to keep materials available and information accurate
• Support new product launches by integrating NPI needs into the production and material plan and tracking ramp‑up readiness
