I am now working at Homeplus, Tesco Korea, as the team leader in Merchandise planning team dealing with FMCG, Home living, Home furniture, Sports & Leisure, Stationery and Toys.My main responsibility is bridging the gap between the target and the forecast in terms of sales and profits. For fulfilling the objective, I introduced the 12 week forecast programme in the basis of the WSSI which stands for “Weekly sales, stock and intakes”. My team updates the forecast every week and makes realistic plans to mobilise and reallocate the limited resources including intakes and promotion investment. In the weekly Commercial meeting, I persuade stakeholders including buying team leaders and directors to carry out my plan.I also control local and global intakes of not only normal but also big volume products. For the efficient stock management, I made the clearance process to exit stock legacy on the best timing at minimal loss. I finally got the best and most honorable prize in the company conference from the CEO for celebrating the contribution of reducing stock level and improving Commercial margin.Recently, I extended my career to leading the common buying project across Asia Tesco affiliates including Korea, China, Malaysia and Thailand with the local colleagues. The objective of the work is combining the sourcing channels and products managed in each country separately so that Asia countries can improve ranges and reduce product costs. The reason why I was able to be appointed as the head of the big project is that the Asia leadership team highly evaluates my capabilities including communication skills especially in English, international people network and career in buying, PB developing, business re-engineering, stock reduction, planning, international standardization, merchandise planning and store management.I boast that no one but me in retail would have had those broad experiences with significant performances and understood the whole end-to-end process.
