Inventory Manager

Main Duties:

• Maintain daily records of shipments and invoices to see what products need to be replenished. While some managers track inventory by making lists, most use supply chain or inventory management software. These programs calculate a monthly or seasonal demand for materials and may even place computer-generated orders.
• Responsible for using mathematical models to forecast future stock needs. For instance, new construction projects may require that supply-house inventory managers order parts that were previously not stocked.
• Study sales numbers, construction supply needs and vendor availabilities to come up with an estimated amount of product to maintain.
