As a versatile, senior-level inventory & distribution manager, I have over 14 years of cumulative experience in supply chain operations, procurement, and logistics for manufacturing. With a dedicated mindset and self-motivation, I strive to continuously develop professionally. Currently, I am working towards completing an APICS-CPIM certification. Demonstrating a track record for handling complex issues in ambiguous situations, I require minimal supervision. Applying analytical problem-solving skills, I can develop practical solutions and innovative perspectives with cross-functional teams. My ability to lead & support quality control initiatives and continuous improvement projects are centered on workflow processes, technology implementation, customer service and change management programs. This includes cultivating new relationships with partners while meeting evolving client demands. Employing persuasive communication techniques (written & verbal) I effectively negotiate with suppliers & vendors, resolve customer discrepancies, and present detailed performance analytics to all levels of an organization and stakeholders.Additional skills & competencies include:Lean Methodologies (Kanban, Pull & JIT Systems) | Organizational Management | Sourcing Human Resources | Business Administration | Risk Mitigation | Pricing & Cost Analysis | Mediating | OSHA Compliances Auditing | Materials Resource Planning (MRP) SystemsMicrosoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook) | Database Management
