I managed and provided consistent feedback to senior management regarding inventory status and ordering constraints. I also fostered strong relationships with suppliers to maintain product flow and prevent stock outages. I coordinated with warehouse operations to advise on supplier mis-ships, local pickups, and transfers. Lastly, I planned international and domestic transportation through consolidated multi-modal, and evaluated freight cost to identify under-budgeted lanes and opportunities for negotiating shipping rates and achieving cost-effective improvements.

I collaborated with sales managers across multiple locations to forecast and order $60M per year in products based on market trends, seasonality, customer commitments, and new placements. I also managed daily replenishment of over 500 suppliers and reviewed daily reporting to meet demand. Lastly, I implemented new supply chain planning software that decreased overstocks by 65% and increased inventory turns by 58% across 4500 unique SKUs.

I managed a large team through inbound logistics operations to meet facility objectives. My 120-associate team led the region in 36 key performance metrics including pallets received per dock labor hour, receiving cycle time and accuracy, stow away cycle time, productivity, and accuracy resulting in a 1st place ranking among facilities across the Southeast. I established a new process for reviewing inbound freight that analyzed size, weight, and cube of goods for optimal flow of goods through the inbound cycle and optimization of employee labor hours. This process resulted in a 25% decrease in labor hours and increase in dock door utilization.
