I was instrumental in controlling the flow of goods from our production house to eight sales units, with a focus on reducing inventory levels while efficiently fulfilling both make-to-order and make-to-stock deliveries. I organized the storage and distribution of goods and sorting and generating deliveries within our system, ensuring that documented stock matched the physical inventory. By strategically planning delivery routes for our drivers, I optimized both cost and transit time, enhancing overall efficiency. My commitment ensured that all deliveries left the production site on schedule, with the right products consistently reaching the correct locations at the right times.

As a Supply Planner at Asian Paints, I analyzed the flow of finished goods to 12 sales units based on SKU estimates and coordinating closely with production, logistics, sales, and commercial teams to support additional demand as needed. I maintained appropriate safety stock levels while managing opening and closing inventory to minimize the risks of overstocking and understocking, allocating old stocks lying in the distribution centres following FIFO along with monitoring critical dispatches. My responsibilities included planning truck dispatches from eight manufacturing plants and third-party processing units to 14 sales units and regional distribution centres, prioritizing fast and slow movers based on market demand and sales requests. I consistently achieved a same-day order fill rate of 95% (On Time in Full) for all depots and SKUs by collaborating with the logistics team to execute cross-docking strategies during peak periods and mitigate space shortages in warehouses. Additionally, I managed the reverse logistics of dead and damaged stock from sales units back to manufacturing plants, ensuring efficient warehouse space utilization for moving inventory.

I meticulously tracked purchase requisitions to purchase orders based on the consumption plan in the system, while also facilitating additional procurement processes when demand for finished goods exceeded forecasts. I oversaw the timely delivery of packing materials from suppliers, diligently following up on outstanding quantities to ensure smooth production schedules. Additionally, I maintained the integrity of supplier master data, supported my superiors in preparing quarterly pricing reports, and circulated vendor performance and compliance reports. My role also involved managing safety stock levels to prevent overstocking and understocking, addressing quality rejections by raising debit notes with suppliers, and ensuring timely payments to maintain seamless operations and foster strong supplier relationships.
