@jensforrey
Experienced logistics and warehouse leader driving operations, process optimization and team development.
What I'm looking for
Ich bin ein erfahrener Logistik- und Lagerleiter mit langjähriger Praxis in Schichtführung, Lagerorganisation und Prozessoptimierung. Ich habe mehrfach Lager neu organisiert und Hauptlager konsolidiert, dabei Effizienz und Durchlaufzeiten reduziert.
Ich habe Teams von 30–60 Mitarbeitenden geführt, Urlaubs- und Einsatzplanung übernommen und Mitarbeiterentwicklung aktiv vorangetrieben. In mehreren Rollen war ich verantwortlich für Wareneingang, Warenausgang und Kommissionierung.
Technisch habe ich Programmerstellungen (u.a. Excel VBA), Einführung von Scannern und Logistiksteuerungen realisiert sowie Erfahrung mit SAP, Novell, Linux, HTML, Visual Basic, Access und LVS-Administration gesammelt. Ich habe zudem Qualifikationen wie Networking Professional, MCSE und 5S-Auditor.
Ich arbeite pragmatisch, ergebnisorientiert und lege Wert auf klare Prozesse, Mitarbeiterschulung und nachhaltige Optimierung von Materialflüssen.
