I have extensive experience with various inventory management systems, including SAP and Oracle. In my previous role as a Materials Planner, I utilized SAP to track inventory levels, manage stock replenishment, and generate reports on supply chain performance. This experience has equipped me with the skills to efficiently handle inventory data and make informed decisions to optimize stock levels and reduce costs.

I prioritize tasks by assessing their urgency and impact on the overall supply chain. I use a combination of tools like Gantt charts and priority matrices to organize and track project milestones. By setting clear deadlines and regularly reviewing progress, I ensure that critical tasks are addressed promptly, and potential bottlenecks are mitigated.

To minimize waste, I focus on accurate demand forecasting and maintaining optimal inventory levels. I use historical data and market trends to predict future needs and adjust ordering quantities accordingly. Additionally, I collaborate with suppliers to establish just-in-time delivery schedules, reducing storage costs and preventing overstocking.

In the event of disruptions, I quickly assess the impact and develop contingency plans. This involves identifying alternative suppliers, adjusting production schedules, and communicating with stakeholders to manage expectations. My proactive approach ensures minimal downtime and maintains supply chain continuity.

In my previous position, I identified an opportunity to reduce transportation costs by consolidating shipments. By coordinating with logistics teams and negotiating volume discounts with carriers, we achieved a 15% reduction in shipping expenses over six months. This initiative not only saved money but also improved our delivery efficiency.
