• Understand the engineering Bill of material and product structure to be able to correctly advise on product grouping and obsolescence.
• Ensure product codes, safety stock levels and parts status are kept up to date.
• Work cross-functionally to ensure obsolete stock is identified and managed. This will include pre-emptive actions to reduce the risk of obsolete stock, but also disposal methods when it is unavoidable (re-use, re-work, sell and scrap etc).
