"The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary", Vince Lombardi.I am passionate about helping organisations to innovate and make step changes in their end-to-end supply chain linkages. My expertise includes: * Strategic supply chain management * Relationship management * Strategic procurement * Project management * ERP data integrity * Forecast theory * AnalyticsExamples of my achievements in leading strategic supply chain projects include: * Saving $12M within the 6-month time limit, reducing the inventory profile by 39%. * Growing the warehouse footprint from 9 to 18 sites nationally for a distribution budget of $10M. * Reconciled a strategic supplier relationship (20yrs-$5M) by formulating a collaborative exit strategy. * Reduced a 4-day production planning process to 2-hours by leveraging off the IFS-ERP functionality. * Led the integration and upgrade of an acquired wet food processing plant for a $9M project budget.I have participated in multiple ERP implementations (SAP, Movex-M3, EXO-MYOB...) as a project leader, superuser and functional expert for operations, procurement and the planning modules. Also, I enjoy turning data into information (Excel-advanced), then presenting the insights and developing elegant solutions to overcome constraints. For example, costing, forecasting, inventory turn, capacity and optimisation models to service an appropriate DIFOTIS target. I enjoy roles that allow me to utilise my end-to-end knowledge of the supply chain by utilising evidence-based analytics, strategic supply chain and procurement principles.
