As an Inventory Analyst at Deister Machine Company, I apply my BBA in Business Economics from Purdue Fort Wayne to optimize inventory levels, manage SKUs, and plan for future needs. I joined the company in June 2022 as a Purchasing Agent, where I handled daily MRO supply purchases and coordinated with the maintenance team to minimize machine downtime. In January 2023, I transitioned to my current role, where I oversee stock reorders for our warehouses, using daily reports and analysis to ensure optimal inventory levels. I also engage with vendors to ensure timely deliveries, facilitate the setup of new part numbers and SKUs in our system, and collaborate on projects aimed at increasing operational efficiency. This includes management of both purchased items, as well as those made in-house. I am committed to improving workflow efficiency between warehouse and office operations, contributing to the overall success of our organization.
