I am a highly skilled and detail-oriented professional with a comprehensive understanding of the Supply Chain framework and a proven track record in operations and supply chain management. My expertise includes roles such as inventory/material planner, supply planner, production planner, capacity planner, master planner, and procurement agent.Currently, as a Planning Manager at Telestream, one of my most impactful projects was creating a comprehensive MRP (Material Requirements Planning) system in Excel. Faced with the limitations of existing software, I designed a custom Excel-based MRP system that seamlessly integrated backlog, inventory levels, purchase orders and demand forecasts. Utilizing advanced Excel functions and partnering cross-functionally, I automated data inputs and real-time updates, significantly improving accuracy and efficiency in materials planning. This system not only optimized inventory levels but also stabilized lead times and minimized stockouts, leading to substantial cost savings and improved production flow.In my previous role at Kyocera, I played a pivotal part in enhancing cross-functional efficiency during the transition from R&D to full production, leading to a 20% increase in overall productivity. By developing a robust manufacturing planning system in SAP that also interfaced with the physical production floor, I significantly improved operations.One of my key strengths is designing and analyzing systems effectively. Leveraging data analytics, I drive informed decision-making and streamline operations using methodologies like lean, DMAIC, and PDCA.I am exceptionally proficient in Microsoft Excel, with expertise in writing customized macros and teaching complex formulas like vlookup/xlookup, index/match, and pivot tables. Creating self-updating Pareto charts and auto-updating and self-emailing reports is just one example of my commitment to delivering efficient and visually appealing solutions. Additionally, my foundational understanding of Python further enhances my analytical capabilities and efficiency.Beyond my professional accomplishments, I am a community leader and a passionate advocate for equality, the arts, and environmental stewardship. I am dedicated to making a positive impact both within and outside the workplace.
