In my previous role, I led a $50M supply chain optimization project, coordinating across 10 global sites. I implemented advanced analytics to forecast demand, reducing inventory costs by 15%. By fostering collaboration between procurement, logistics, and operations, I ensured seamless execution, achieving a 20% improvement in on-time delivery. My approach emphasizes data-driven decision-making and stakeholder alignment to deliver measurable results.

I align supply chain strategy with organizational goals by first understanding the company’s vision and KPIs. I then map supply chain processes to these objectives, ensuring metrics like cost efficiency, delivery performance, and sustainability are prioritized. Regular cross-functional reviews and transparent communication ensure all teams are aligned. For example, I integrated sustainability goals into procurement practices, reducing carbon emissions by 10% while maintaining cost targets.

I mitigate risks by implementing a robust risk management framework, including supplier diversification, real-time monitoring, and contingency planning. For instance, during the pandemic, I established dual sourcing for critical components, reducing disruption risks by 30%. I also leverage predictive analytics to identify potential bottlenecks early, enabling proactive mitigation. Collaboration with suppliers and internal teams ensures agility and resilience in the face of uncertainties.

I drive innovation by leveraging emerging technologies like AI, IoT, and blockchain to enhance visibility and efficiency. For example, I implemented an AI-powered demand forecasting tool that improved accuracy by 25%. I also encourage a culture of continuous improvement, empowering teams to propose and test new ideas. By staying updated on industry trends and fostering partnerships with tech providers, I ensure the supply chain remains competitive and future-ready.

I measure performance using KPIs such as cost-to-serve, lead time, and inventory turnover. I conduct regular performance reviews and benchmark against industry standards to identify gaps. For example, I reduced lead times by 15% by optimizing transportation routes and warehouse layouts. Continuous improvement initiatives, like Lean Six Sigma, ensure sustained performance gains. Feedback loops with stakeholders help refine processes and align with evolving business needs.
