Use Microsoft Excel (filters, pivot tables, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP) to create, update, and analyze inventory reports. Operate RF gun/scanning devices to perform product selection, verification, and documentation. Assist with warehouse organization, 5S activities, and Lean-driven improvements to reduce waste and increase efficiency.
