About the Role

This is the senior functional position responsible for supply, inventory,



storage and distribution operations at the Villawood distribution centre. Reporting directly to senior management, the Supply and Distribution Manager will lead and coordinate a warehouse and distribution team of approximately 10 employees. The position is primarily responsible for distribution-centre management, inventory planning, store replenishment and outward transport. A key part of the role is analysing sales and consumption data across Palermo’s retail-store network, forecasting product requirements, and coordinating production priorities with the Melbourne manufacturing facility. The successful candidate will ensure that finished products are manufactured, transferred, stored and distributed in the required quantities and at the appropriate times. Key Responsibilities

Determine, implement and monitor supply, storage, inventory and distribution strategies for the Villawood distribution centre and the retail stores it supports.

Analyse store-level sales, product-consumption rates, seasonal demand, online orders and historical sales trends to forecast future stock requirements for individual products.

Prepare regular demand forecasts and production-requirement reports identifying the quantities and timing of products required from Palermo’s Melbourne manufacturing facility.

Coordinate with the Melbourne production team regarding production priorities, product availability,



manufacturing lead times and the transfer of finished goods to the Villawood distribution centre.

Balance forecast retail demand against production capacity, available warehouse stock and transport lead times to reduce stock shortages, excess inventory and delayed replenishment.

Develop and implement store-replenishment plans that maintain required stock levels while controlling storage, freight and inventory-holding costs.

Determine the allocation of new and existing products to individual stores based on sales performance, product demand, store requirements and available inventory.

Monitor and review inventory and storage systems to maintain accurate stock records, identify slow-moving or unavailable products and ensure reordering and restocking occur at optimal times.

Oversee regular stock counts, stock reconciliations, returned-product registers, unavailable-product reports and back-in-stock requirements.

Control the receipt and recording of finished goods and pallets transferred from Melbourne, including consignment documentation, product identification and stock allocation.

Plan, control and review outward distribution from the Villawood centre to retail stores and other business locations.

Establish and revise delivery routes as new stores open, determine transport and vehicle requirements and monitor delivery schedules and freight performance.

Coordinate interstate pallet movements and maintain accurate records showing the products and quantities contained in each consignment.

Liaise with store managers regarding stock requirements, shortages, returned products, new-product allocations, store openings and delivery priorities.
