Alvin Joy
@alvinjoy
I drive dark store and retail inventory operations, improving accuracy, dispatch efficiency, and shrink through process optimization.
What I'm looking for
I’m an operations professional who leads dark store and hub execution with a strong focus on inventory control, inbound/outbound logistics, and process optimization. In fast-paced environments, I use WMS/ERP tools to run audits, cycle counts, and real-time stock reconciliation to drive 99%+ inventory accuracy.
I bring hands-on expertise across dispatch performance, shrink reduction, and stock movement discipline (FIFO/FEFO and related models). I’ve improved operational workflows through lean practices—Gemba walks and Kaizen—while tightening delivery SLAs and reducing RTO.
I also combine operational rigor with people leadership, managing rider and manpower planning, onboarding, and QMS compliance through structured rosters, daily huddles, and performance coaching. I enjoy resolving issues via root-cause analysis and collaborating cross-functionally to sustain OTIF and service quality.
