GEL Building Supplies Division is recruiting a results-oriented, team-spirited and highly organised individual to join our team as Inventory Planning Analyst.
Reporting to the Divisional Purchasing Manager, the analyst supports the expansion of the division's inventory and demand planning capability across four Caribbean business units. The analyst owns the purchasing function's data, metrics and reporting, and as the division's new ERP goes live, runs independent demand plans and inventory analysis to guide replenishment, stock levels and working-capital efficiency. The role's location is flexible across the division's operating territories of St. Vincent, Barbados or St. Lucia.
Key Areas of Responsibility:
Purchasing Data & KPI Reporting: Build, populate and maintain divisional purchasing KPI dashboards (fill rate, inventory turns, weeks of inventory, aged stock) across the business units; and establish consistent measurement methodologies across units operating on different systems, resolving data-classification and data-integrity issues.
Market & Vendor Intelligence: Maintain market intelligence and vendor performance reporting, including supplier scorecards and category analysis; and compile pricing benchmarking and consolidated spend analysis in support of supplier negotiations.
Inventory & Demand Planning: Run demand plans and benchmark them against the ERP's replenishment outputs once live, working to improve planning accuracy over time; analyse inventory positions to recommend stock levels, safety stock and reorder points, balancing service levels against working capital; and identify slow-moving, aged and obsolete inventory and support corrective action.
ERP Data Readiness: Support data readiness for the division's ERP implementation, including cleansing of inventory records ahead of go-live.
Performance Monitoring: Monitor forecast accuracy and service-level performance, reporting on deviations and their causes; and support additional projects carried out within the Divisional Purchasing department.
