A Rudis Logistics Manager oversees the entire supply chain purchasing and distribution process. They take and manage the inventory of products stored within the warehouse. Logistics Managers collaborate closely with product suppliers and clients, building strong and long-lasting relationships. They’re constantly working with product carriers as well to determine and negotiate shipping rates and in this current environment, workarounds for materials and timetables. You would have worked with small parcels and have knowledge of working with vendors/factories in Asia.
Logistics Managers typically handle the entire delivery process of products by scheduling both inbound and outbound shipments, constantly monitoring them to make sure each product arrives on time.
To ensure the logistical processes are running smoothly, they meet with our department heads to determine which logistics improvements need to be made to increase productivity levels across the organization. You would have a thorough understanding of what came before you, and have the guts to re-engineer what would improve the overall process for Rudis.
