Simbiat Remi-Surakat

I’m a Supply Chain and Procurement professional with 9+ years of progressive experience in procurement, supplier management, strategic sourcing, supply operations, and data-driven process improvement across complex business environments. I’m known for managing supplier activities and governance, coordinating across stakeholders, and turning procurement data—like performance indicators, pricing trends, and operational metrics—into practical improvement opportunities. I bring hands-on systems experience with SAP ECC, Microsoft Dynamics, ATAI, Navision, and Microsoft Excel to strengthen documentation accuracy and decision-making.

In my current role as a Supply Chain Specialist (Japan Tobacco International), I lead supplier and operational coordination to support supply continuity, service performance, and operational efficiency. I monitor KPI/SLA-driven performance, resolve vendor issues, analyze purchasing trends, and develop reporting insights in Excel and procurement systems to improve visibility into supplier performance and spending patterns. Previously, as a Procurement Officer (Strategic Sourcing), I managed direct and indirect sourcing—supplier selection, negotiation, onboarding, KPI monitoring—and supported procurement system deployment and user adoption, while ensuring compliance and audit readiness through accurate procurement records and SOP adherence.
