• Apply MSF Good Storage and Distribution Practices and the line manager's instructions so that items reach projects on time, in good condition, and fully documented. The medical team owns the stock; Supply manages it.

• Supervise materials and goods orders and dispatch to ensure rational use.

• Receive orders and deliveries, identify and report discrepancies against cargo manifests or other documents, and store materials according to the applicable system to ensure continuous availability.

• Monitor store temperature and ensure cold-chain items are kept at adequate temperatures. Maintain special control of sensitive goods, including lot numbers, expiry dates, packaging, and special storage conditions.

• Prepare orders on time before dispatch. Pack according to the transport means, weigh and label freight, and record the shipping number, destination, number of shipping units, waybill number, weight, and mode of transport according to the line manager's instructions.

• In conjunction with the line manager, conduct physical stock counts according to the defined schedule. Follow up stock levels, alarm thresholds, stock-outs, and expiry dates.

• Control limited warehouse access to authorised personnel and ensure doors and exits are secured. Immediately report damage, loss, attempted break-ins, theft, or other problems to the line manager.

• Assist the line manager with preparation of stock reports.
