Materials Planner (1.5 years)Worked with PMO (Platform Memory Operations) to create a process that would track BU demand, allocate supply between BU’s, and facilitate PO placement. • Created a process to track leading edge (DDR400) memory orders. • Got approval from the BU’s to use this process.

This saved 2 hrs per day or $17,000 per year.• Cleared up mis-shipments and pricing issues.• Modified this process for DDR2 memory. Process now tracks free and purchased samples. • Combined the demand forecast and the memory tracking process into one document. This saved another 4 hrs per day moving data from one document to another and eliminated transfer errors. Total savings $34,000 per year. The BU’s approved this process quickly. I documented the process for future reference.• Successfully worked with Module Suppliers to understand their business and capabilities. Goal was to enable the Module Suppliers for DDR2 memory and there by enable the channel in time for Intel product launches.
