Senior Supply Chain Planner
Jan 2021 - now
- As workstream lead, reconciled MRP exceptions against ERP stock, open purchase orders, and engineering changes to validate material requirements for an electromechanical assembly plan; removed obsolete-component demand before buyers expedited parts that the new BOM no longer required.
- With responsibility for the review standard, rebuilt the production schedule around constrained components, comparing supplier recovery dates with factory capacity and customer delivery priorities; published an approved shortage-recovery plan with owners and dates instead of carrying impossible commitments forward.
- Reconciled forecast demand with inventory and open purchase orders, highlighted capacity and material constraints, and tested the production plan against supplier lead-time changes.
- Owned an MRP exception review using SAP purchase orders, resolved duplicate demand and completed the revised inventory plan before the weekly production meeting.
- Built an Excel reconciliation using ERP lead times, reduced planning exceptions by 21% across two monthly cycles and published the approved rescheduling rules.

- As review lead, checked BOM revision cut-ins and material substitutions with engineering before releasing planning changes; prevented old and new revisions from being counted as interchangeable supply without approval.
