  Supply Planner

  Planned and executed build plans for the manufacture of printed wire boards for both internal and OEM customers. Reduced printed wire board inventory by approximately 30% through aggressive demand forecasting and subsequent build plans. Determined existing inventory and sales strategy was not maximizing potential division revenue. Created a plan for eliminating excess inventory and increasing customer order fulfillment. Plan was adopted as the standard business practice for the IBM Microelectronics Division. This was accomplished by determining the correlation between historical ordering trends and resultant purchases. Was identified as an IBM Future Leader and selected to be a team member on the group established to further develop the capabilities of the Microelectronics Division’s primary planning and execution tool. Chosen to be a member of the plant’s Total Quality Management team. This objective was realized through the implementation of ISO 9001.
