Orchestrated projects to enhance the efficiency of the Aruba supply chain, involving the streamlining of processes to ensure accurate and timely production, procurement, and distribution of goods. Formulated monthly production schedules that synchronized demand with resource and material availabilities. Assessed and directed strategies for the efficient supply execution for each product's lifecycle management.• Directed and supported the implementation activities for Demand Management in Integrated Business Planning (IBP), S4 (SAP), One Network, and O9 Platforms, ensuring accurate communication of demand and supply signals with supplier and customer stakeholders.• Managed supply chain program dependencies to ensure a smooth transition from legacy product families the release and ramp-up of their new counterparts.• Implemented the ocean freight logistic project for inbound supply, resulting in quarterly savings of $2M on freight costs.• Optimized each manufacturing schedule to their requirements, known material and capacity constraints for a 24-month horizon.• Through tenure, directed manufacturing scheduling for over 2000 products in the wired-edge computing portfolio.

Tailored the operations signal to the manufacturing and test facilities. This role involved detailed coordination and optimization of the global demand input, translating it into a realistic production signal to ensure timely inventory delivery. Strong collaboration was needed between divisional planning, the direct materials department, capacity planning, and manufacturing execution teams to meet the weekly production targets for all the desired subassemblies and finished goods.• Managed the scheduling of manufacturing activities for over 20 product families, aligning raw material requirements with end-customer SKU-level demand. This strategic planning covered a midrange horizon, based on a 1-year projection of future sales forecasts.• Led the fulfillment of global customer sales at the SKU level, guaranteeing both prompt delivery and satisfaction for future one-year orders. Successfully maintained a 96% delivery satisfaction rate across a portfolio of over 50 embedded Intel Chipset product SKUs. • Designed and applied automation to streamline data cross-check audits across internal and external company databases, encompassing manufacturing production schedules, marketing sales forecasts, and customer requirement projection records. This initiative significantly reduced dependency on manual checks by 80%, and it efficiently absorbed auditing activities from other departments, ensuring precise product availability promise notices to our final customers.

Oversaw Intel’s indirect inventory (spare parts), involving the management of the equipment lifecycle, adherence to procurement guidelines, and ensuring accurate tracking and reporting. As an indirect materials planner, collaborated closely with the engineering maintenance departments to maintain optimal stock levels and with the logistics units to minimize carrying costs.• Managed the optimal stock levels of manufacturing indirect materials across 2000+ individual part numbers sourced from 50+ international and local suppliers. Ensured availability to the manufacturing plant and its customers, leading to annual savings of $630 K through the optimization of purchasing algorithms and prevention of potential unused inventory.• Conducted negotiations with international and local suppliers to establish mutually agreed-upon inventory targets, delivery dates, and adherence to quality and procurement guidelines. This effort resulted in a significant improvement, raising on-time delivery rates from 65% to 87% of total purchases. Additionally, a 10% reduction in receiving costs was achieved by enforcing the appropriate use of Incoterms.• Managed the redistribution of indirect-material inventory among worldwide factories, resulting in annual savings of $225K through the efficient sharing of inventory across geographically dispersed manufacturing locations.
