My expertise spans manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, and international trade, consistently delivering cost reductions, improved lead times, and seamless vendor management.
Whether you are a scaling startup looking to build a resilient supply network from scratch or an established enterprise seeking to eliminate bottlenecks and audit bleeding costs, I bring data-driven solutions to maximize your bottom line.
Core Services Offered
1. Strategic Supply Chain Design & Optimization
Network Design: Mapping and analyzing your current supply chain to identify vulnerabilities, eliminate redundant steps, and optimize the flow of goods from raw materials to final delivery.
Risk Mitigation & Resilience: Developing robust contingency plans for global disruptions, fluctuating freight markets, and supplier bottlenecks.
S&OP (Sales and Operations Planning): Aligning demand forecasting with production capacity and inventory targets to prevent both stock outs and overstocks.
2. Global Logistics & Freight Management
Multi-Modal Transportation: Expert routing and carrier selection across ocean, air, rail, and over-the-road (OTR) freight to balance cost and speed.
Customs & Compliance: Navigating international trade regulations, tariff codes, customs documentation, and compliance frameworks to ensure smooth cross-border operations.
Carrier & 3PL Negotiations: Leveraging deep market knowledge to negotiate favorable freight rates, service level agreements (SLAs), and contracts with third-party logistics providers.
3. Advanced Warehouse & Inventory Control
Inventory Optimization: Implementing Just-In-Time (JIT), Economic Order Quantity (EOQ), and safety stock models to maximize liquidity and reduce holding costs.
Warehouse Operations: Streamlining layout design, picking/packing workflows, and cross-docking procedures to boost throughput and order accuracy.
WMS/ERP Integration: Advising on and managing the deployment of supply chain technologies (such as SAP, Oracle, or specialized Warehouse Management Systems).
4. Strategic Procurement & Vendor Management
Sourcing Strategies: Identifying and vetting reliable global and local suppliers to diversify your sourcing matrix.
Vendor Performance Audits: Establishing Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) to monitor supplier lead times, quality control, and contract compliance, fostering continuous improvement.
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) I Consistently Improve:
OTIF (On-Time In-Full) Delivery Rates
Total Landed Cost Reduction
Inventory Turnover Ratio
Order Fulfillment Cycle Time
Warehouse Capacity Utilization
