• Carrier S&OP & Credit Recovery: Establish S&OP-driven pallet demand forecasts and operationalize pallet return, regrade, and credit recovery programs with major carrier partners (FedEx, Roadie).

• On-Site Team Leadership & Kanban Design: Directly lead on-site non-inventory hourly associates across the network who receive, stage, and replenish materials; design and implement lean kanban staging to eliminate fulfillment downtime.

• Vendor Consolidation & Services Procurement: Negotiate master service agreements, consolidate redundant vendors, enforce rigorous SLA performance across ~$17M in business services, and streamline standard operating ordering flows for facility supplies and maintenance buys.
