• Follow FIFO (First In, First Out) lot rotation when selecting ingredients from storage.
• Document all staged inventory and communicate progress, shortages, or issues to the Blending Manager or Supervisor at shift end.

• Support periodic cycle count activities as directed by the Blending Manager.
• Identify and segregate damaged or expired ingredient lots from usable inventory.
• Complete disposal sales orders in Acumatica ERP for all damaged and expired lots; ensure all entries are fully submitted with no open or stalled records.
