• Turnaround Management: Follow up aggressively with local client dispatch desks to ensure our empty assets are gathered, loaded, and brought back to Waki without delays.
• Inward Inspection Pipeline: Coordinate the arrival of returned assets with the plant's production floor so they can be quickly inspected, repaired, and re-staged for active use.
• Material Feed Coordination: Work with the purchasing desk to schedule local vendor deliveries of steel profiles and hardware precisely when the production floor needs them.
• Daily SCM Operations Tracking: Maintain a clean Excel/ERP dashboard tracking daily 709 vehicle trips, regional asset balances at client sites, and inbound raw material timelines.
