@shirleyandrea
Procurement and supply chain professional driving timely, cost-effective sourcing and inventory solutions.
What I'm looking for
I am a procurement and supply chain professional with hands-on experience across procurement, inventory management and logistics, including roles at KEMSA, Panalpina Airflo and Dutch Flower Group Africa.
I combine formal training—a Diploma in Purchasing and Supplies Management and certificates in procurement-related IT and leadership—with practical achievements such as maintaining accurate ERP records, coordinating perishable logistics and improving service levels to 98% on-time, on-spec deliveries.
My strengths include supplier negotiation, purchase order management, forecasting and demand allocation, and I have led process improvements, coached trainees and produced reliable weekly and monthly reports to management.
I am self-driven, collaborative and focused on continuous learning, seeking to apply my procurement, stores and logistics experience to deliver value through efficient sourcing, inventory control and supplier partnerships.
