This includes coordinating and tracking the shipment of goods from the point of origin to the point of consumption to meet customer requirements. They closely monitor warehouse activities to ensure that all products are stored correctly and inventory levels are maintained accurately. The Distribution Manager also plays a crucial role in improving efficiency, reducing costs, and maximizing productivity through strategic planning and implementing the best distribution practices.
