  5. Process Improvement & Operational Efficiency: Analyze warehouse operations and identify areas for improvement in workflow, layout, and equipment utilization. Lead continuous improvement initiatives to enhance operational processes, reduce waste, and increase productivity. Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including procurement, logistics, and customer service, to streamline operations.
  6. Reporting & Documentation: Prepare and maintain accurate reports on warehouse performance, including KPIs, inventory levels, and operational efficiency metrics. Ensure all operational documentation is complete, accurate, and compliant with company policies and regulations.
  7. Logistics Coordination: Manage relationships with suppliers, carriers, and third-party logistics providers to ensure timely and cost-effective deliveries. Coordinate inbound logistics, including receiving and unloading goods, verifying shipments, and handling returns. Oversee outbound logistics, ensuring timely dispatch, accurate order fulfillment, and proper documentation.
