What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue improving material availability, supplier coordination, inventory control, and production planning while reducing costs, shortages, and obsolescence.

I'm currently planning raw materials and finished goods at Axalta Plascon, using forecasts, safety stock, supplier coordination, and SAP master data to support uninterrupted manufacturing operations. I also manage pricing, inventory risks, obsolescence, supplier documentation, and purchase orders.

Across Formex Industries, CRH Africa, and Purem by Eberspacher, I've coordinated local and import suppliers, MRP schedules, deliveries, stock accuracy, and material flow. I bring five years of procurement, inventory management, forecasting, and production scheduling experience.
