A day in the life
In your first 60 days: You have a clear data-backed view of ABServs inventory health what is working what is fragile and where the structural gaps are. You have assessed the inherited project portfolio and have a sequenced point of view on what to build first and why. You own the weekly leadership narrative and present it with confidence not just data.

At 3 months: At least one significant manual or reactive process has become automated or proactive. The cold start forecasting framework is live and used for every new customer launch. You have built a functional cross-functional working model with BD Operations Vendor Management and Engineering and those partners know who to call when something breaks.

At 6 months: The supply chain layer runs with forward visibility not just backward reporting. Inventory risks are surfaced and addressed before they become customer-visible failures. New customer launches follow a repeatable documented playbook that does not depend on any single persons knowledge. Leadership has structured predictive insight into supply chain health that did not exist when you arrived.
