GGL is a result-based company, so for me, my typical hours are flexible as long as I get my work done. Sometimes I come in at 7 a.m., sometimes at 9 a.m. Mondays are my busy day, when I come in I look at everything that has changed from the previous week. I download lots of reports, plug them into databases, and look at where we are, where we were, and where we should be. Once my analysis is done, I talk to various people about accounts, inventory, etc. Every Monday at 1 p.m., I meet with our purchasing team to go over the reports and talk about strategies for future purchasing and forecasting. We also discuss other projects related to process or best practices.

In my role, I work with buyers, planners, and the management team here. We're always trying to optimize our inventory investment. Opportunities to take on a little more here, give up space there, how to optimize our work.
