What I'm looking for

I seek a supply-chain role where I can optimize inventory and supplier performance, contribute process improvements, and support cross-functional teams in a collaborative manufacturing environment.

I am a detail-oriented Material Planner with 7+ years of experience in supply chain and manufacturing environments, focused on inventory management, supplier coordination, and just-in-time production. I have a proven record of partnering cross-functionally and with suppliers to improve delivery performance, reduce shortages, and support successful new product launches.

My experience spans ERP/MRP systems (Plex, SAP, Macola), Excel-driven analysis, cycle counting, and expediting critical components to prevent production downtime. I consistently deliver process improvements—achieving high on-time delivery rates, reducing inventory discrepancies, and cutting expedited freight costs—while maintaining clear communication between purchasing, engineering, and production teams.
