I manage forecasting and inventory planning for 81,340 SKUs across 21 distribution centers, driving improved product availability and operational efficiency. By analyzing customer demand patterns, seasonality, promotional activity, and new product launches, I optimize inventory stocking levels to reduce excess and minimize out-of-stocks.
