Supply Chain Analyst

A supply chain analyst works to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of a company's supply chain operations. This involves analysing data on the movement of goods, inventory levels, purchasing trends, and supplier performance. Supply chain analysts use software tools to identify areas for cost savings, process improvements, and risk management. They often work closely with other departments such as purchasing, logistics, and production to ensure that products are delivered on time and within budget. Strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and good communication abilities are important in this role. Many analysts have degrees or professional qualifications in business, logistics, or supply chain management.
