Supply Chain & Logistics professional optimizing fleets, distribution, 3PLs, and ERP systems to cut costs.
KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Supply Chain & Logistics Professional focused on fleet management, distribution optimization, vendor performance, and ERP systems (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft D365). I lead distribution teams, manage 3PL providers, and implement cost-effective models that improve service reliability while reducing operational costs.
In my current role as Logistics-Distribution Team Leader, I reduced distribution costs through fuel optimization by saving $3560 at CCBA Kenya. I also cut distribution variable labour costs by 25% through effective resource and route planning, and improved on-time delivery performance using driver recognition and engagement programs.
I strengthen performance end-to-end—designed a warehouse layout that boosted space utilization and productivity by 50%, developed an activity based resourcing model that increased labour cost efficiency by 52%, and enforced 3PL SLAs to reduce the claims rate. With a continuous improvement mindset, I apply SOP adherence, risk & safety management, and root cause analysis—investigating incidents and implementing corrective actions to reduce recurrence by 15%, across FMCG and aviation environments.
