Amanda Hall
@amandahall1
I optimize supply networks, inventory, demand plans, and supplier performance to improve delivery, cost, and customer satisfaction.
What I'm looking for
I'm currently improving supply chain execution at Collins Aerospace, where I reduced back-orders from 200 to 50 lines by implementing MOQs and safety-stock limits. I also strengthened quality-notification turnaround, order-status visibility, requisition accuracy, and critical-shortage collaboration across plants in Canada, Belgium, and the Philippines.
At JELD-WEN Windows and Doors, I managed a 24-month demand plan and connected product, customer, and financial performance through monthly demand reviews. I partnered with sales representatives to improve forecast accuracy and supported SAP HANA design and implementation through the IBP process.
Across ThyssenKrupp Aerospace, Belkin, DKB Household, Boehringer Ingelheim, and Tyco Healthcare, I've managed buying, demand and supply planning, supplier performance, stock availability, launches, procurement, and logistics. I've implemented SAP, served as an SAP Super User, negotiated supplier pricing, coordinated international deliveries, and improved service, fill rate, lead times, and back-order performance.
I focus on maximizing customer satisfaction through timely, accurate delivery while minimizing cost and improving efficiency. I'm motivated by reducing lead times, optimizing inventory, and building collaborative, resilient relationships across the supply network.
