In the Incoming Pack Role at Ferrero, you will execute sampling based on criteria defined in the packaging statements and SAP sampling plans, adhering to safety and accident prevention regulations.
You will perform internal and external sampling, conducting optical inspections on materials according to international guidelines for production, warehouses, and laboratories. You will be responsible for recording goods movements in SAP, including stock for quality controls, locked stocks, and stock on behalf of third parties.
Additionally, you will elaborate on the results of control calendars within the tables and lots of control in SAP.
