•       Balance inventory availability against excess and obsolete stock

•       Coordinate buys based on demand forecasts, customer orders, production schedules, and seasonality

•       Support cycle count and inventory accuracy efforts where purchasing impacts inventory health

•       Work closely with production, planning, warehouse, sales, and customer service teams at both TCI and E-Z LOK

•       Ensure material availability to support manufacturing schedules without interruption at either facility

•       Prioritize purchases for urgent jobs, stockouts, and customer commitments
