Roles and Responsibilities: 1. System Mastery & Optimization · Full Adoption: Ensuring team moves beyond manual overrides to a data-driven "system-led" replenishment culture. · Parameter Excellence: Audit and refine system parameters to ensure HPM output aligns with actual store capacity and sales velocity. 2. Strategic Replenishment · Dynamic Allocation: Pivot inventory strategies between "Push" (New Arrivals/Initial Allocation) and "Pull" (Daily Supply) to maximize Full Price Sell-Through (FPST). · Replenishment Planning: Plan and execute replenishment logic especially for Long Holiday and Seasonal Peaks (like Back to School and Songkran Ecom Double Digit) while balancing WH capacity with store footprint. · Buffer Management: Manage "Strategic Stock" holding at the WH to quickly react to sales trends or unexpected stock-outs in high-performing stores. 3. End-to-End Business Ownership · Anomaly Detection: Establish a routine to spot system anomalies (e.g., zero-replenishment on top sellers or over-stocking in low-tier stores) before they impact business. · Data stewardship and proactive problem-solving: Ensuring technology serves commercial strategy and that every system output is validated against real business needs. · Ownership Mindset: "Owning the numbers" When system suggests an illogical move, you must have the commercial "gut feel" to investigate, correct the root cause parameter, and prevent recurrence.
