Christopher Kulch, Cscp, Ctsc possesses expertise in forecasting, demand planning, supply chain, consumer products, inventory management and 45 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "When Chris Kulch was hired, Suominen’s objective was to improve significantly supply chain planning and management capabilities. Each site knew how to purchase, produce and ship, but ability to plan information and material flows on a global level required improvement. Chris’s contribution in developing a more advanced and sophisticated model was instrumental. He brought theoretical understanding as well as practical knowledge and best practices of modern S&OP into the organization. Managing supply chains efficiently is not necessarily difficult as such, but the complexity created by conflicting interests and drivers turns it easily into a SNAFU. Helping the organization to navigate through rough waters, Chris always takes the approach based on data and facts, always promoting the best interest of the company and never having an agenda of his own. Being fact based and theoretical doesn’t mean that Chris is dry and boring. On the contrary, he’s helpful, approachable and always willing to share a good laugh. I was personally involved in hiring him and I would make the same decision any day." and "I worked almost 4 years together with Chris and during that time I learned to enjoy his professionalism and solid performance. He played a key role to establish S&OP in Suominen. As we all know everything new takes time to implement and strong headwinds are to be expected. This also in Suominen's case, but Chris held true to the S&OP philosophy and educated the whole organization about the pivotal role of the core philosophy. "Roles and responsibilities" continues to echo in my head, in a positive way, even if I'm working with another Company today. Choose Chris and you choose commitment and perfomance. "
