    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

Day to day I met with supply planners, organised and analysed information on Excel spreadsheets, learnt and trained others on how to use a new site, reviewed and formatted documents, made PowerPoints and presented to teams from other divisions.
