Jacob Calderon
@jacobcalderon
I improve supply chain operations through SAP/EWM implementation, supply chain planning, and data-driven process optimization.
What I'm looking for
I've led supply chain and warehouse operations across Cargill, Gildan Activewear, Empire Electronics, and Caracol Knits, improving production schedules, inventory accuracy, distribution workflows, and operational cost control. At Cargill, I led business requirements, UAT, training, and rollout support for SAP EWM across a 600+ SKU cold-chain distribution center.
I've delivered measurable results including $30,000 in recurring savings, inventory accuracy above 98%, 100% on-time delivery, and lower overtime, headcount, and excess inventory. I also build Excel and Power BI data pipelines and dashboards that turn fragmented operational data into practical decisions.
