@waqasmehmood1
I optimize procurement, inventory, and supply operations for manufacturing, aviation, and mega projects.
What I'm looking for
At Alaa for Industry, I manage end-to-end procurement for manufacturing consumables, spare parts, heavy-equipment components, and chemicals, helping sustain uninterrupted production across multiple facilities. I monitor procurement cycles, negotiate supplier agreements, and reduced stockouts by 10%.
Previously, I led supply chain, procurement, MRP, warehouse, and distribution operations for Infinite Fire & Security and the Pakistan Air Force. I've improved on-time delivery, inventory accuracy, lead times, and procurement costs through strategic sourcing, SAP S/4HANA, Power BI dashboards, supplier negotiations, and demand planning.
