What I'm looking for

I negotiated contracts and pricing agreements with strategic suppliers, and implemented supplier performance scorecards and regular business reviews. I also collaborated with Quality, Logistics, and Production teams to mitigate supply risks and support on-time delivery.
At TOSHIBA Consumer Products Indonesia, I managed a portfolio of 300 raw-material and packaging suppliers. I supported cost-reduction initiatives that delivered 10% savings on key commodities within one fiscal year, and conducted supplier audits and capability assessments to qualify vendors and reduce single-source dependency.
