5. Provide relevant management data to stock owners, project, and capital coordination, including information on expired drugs, risk of shortages, stock reports, lead time, and pipeline.
6. Manage the supply team in the project and collaborate with the human resources department and other coordinators to plan and implement human resources processes, like recruitment, training, and evaluations.
