Robert Osborne
@robertosborne
Procurement professional specializing in high-volume manufacturing purchasing and supplier coordination.
What I'm looking for
I am a procurement professional with over three years of hands-on experience managing purchase orders, supplier coordination, and inventory operations in regulated manufacturing. I consistently support sourcing activities, perform price analysis, and maintain compliance with internal controls.
At FAGE USA Dairy Industry, I manage high-volume procurement across production, maintenance, laboratory, warehouse, and corporate departments, issuing purchase orders in SAP and resolving receiving and invoice discrepancies. I closely coordinate with operations, finance, and quality teams to meet cost, schedule, and performance objectives.
My analytical foundation includes advanced Excel skills—pivot tables, lookups, and variance analysis—and experience with ERP systems (SAP MM), enabling accurate forecasting and inventory replenishment to prevent stockouts. I also support supplier performance through delivery tracking, issue escalation, and corrective action follow-up.
I hold a B.A. in Statistics and Mathematics (double major) with a minor in Public Health, graduating summa cum laude. I contribute to process improvements by enhancing tracking methods and strengthening purchasing workflows, and I bring a detail-oriented, audit-focused approach to procurement operations.
