What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on role in stock/inventory management or operations where I can apply forecasting, process improvement and leadership to improve accuracy and throughput.

I am a seasoned stock controller and operations professional with 22 years' experience in the DMS powders business, working across operator, transport, stock control, administration and acting supervisory roles.

I currently manage finished-goods stock levels, perform weekly and monthly stock reconciliations, forecasting and demand planning, and lead month-end processes to ensure 100% packaging and stock accuracy.

My strengths include data analysis and presentation, process improvement, quality assurance, FIFO inventory control, and hands-on use of systems such as JDE and SAP to capture production, allocate stock and report variances.

I have acted as supervisor since 2016, contributed to customer-loading checklist creation, compiled audits and demand reports, and consistently focused on increasing efficiency, throughput and value through organized business improvements.
