Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
In order to help the firm streamline its supply chains and other operations, it is my role. I use my knowledge of supply chain management to analyse how well a company's logistics processes are working. I look for places where things can be improved, such lowering costs, increasing productivity, or raising customer satisfaction. I use data analytics to track and assess a company's supply chain performance. This helps by highlighting regions that could present risks, such as those related to delays, shortages, or damage.
