What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my analytical skills and offers opportunities for growth in inventory and supply chain management.

I am an experienced inventory manager with a proven track record in optimizing inventory processes and enhancing operational efficiency. Currently, I serve as the Inventory Manager at Quality Incorporations VII Ltd., where I oversee purchasing and ensure the smooth flow of production by managing stock levels and coordinating with suppliers. My analytical skills allow me to compile data effectively, ensuring that our inventory meets production demands.

Previously, I held roles as an Inventory Controller and Assistant General Manager, where I implemented strategies that improved store layouts and increased sales through better inventory management. My experience with various inventory systems and software, including Retail Star, has equipped me with the tools to analyze inventory movement and make data-driven decisions. I am passionate about using my skills to drive efficiency and profitability in inventory management.
