At Marine Electrical Products, I manage approximately $5 million in annual purchasing across 271 vendors, executing thousands of purchase orders for production and MRO needs. Supplier negotiations and vendor changes generated approximately $50,000 in purchasing savings, and freight claims and billing corrections recovered approximately $15,000.
I use SAP/ERP and advanced Excel analysis to review purchasing, inventory, supplier performance, and cost variances. I also coordinate supplier quotes, lead times, shortages, delivery commitments, and compliance documentation.
At Detroit Tool Metal Products, I led materials planning, inventory, and receiving across three manufacturing facilities while supervising eight employees. Inventory controls and process improvements reduced reported inventory variance from 0.07% to 0.02%, and I led corrective actions adopted across Ironform business units.
My experience also includes directing workforce development programming at Elevate Lebanon, production assembly at Emerson Copeland, and customer-facing sales and fulfillment work at Lowe’s. At Lowe’s, I exceeded $600,000 in departmental annual sales and helped establish the store’s internet fulfillment department.
