Establish and maintain accurate landed cost, inventory valuation, and costing methodology (FIFO/weighted‑average) appropriate to the business. Identify and address shrinkage, damage, waste, and process gaps; quantify root causes and partner with operations on corrective action. Drive continuous improvement in inventory tracking systems, item master accuracy, and integration between operations and accounting.
