I also consider the overall production schedule and coordinate closely with the maintenance team to align warehouse operations with active projects. This approach guarantees that we maintain efficiency and stay ahead of any issues.

My approach to conducting inventory audits involves planning ahead by informing the team about the schedule and outlining responsibilities.
