Materials Manager @ Creation Technologies

About

As a Materials Manager with over 5 years of experience, I specialize in optimizing warehouse operations, logistics, inventory management, and supply chain processes. I am passionate about driving efficiency and reducing costs by implementing Lean methodologies, leveraging technology, and continuously improving operations to deliver exceptional results. With a proven track record in end-to-end materials management, I have successfully streamlined processes to ensure seamless production and maintain inventory accuracy. I thrive on maximizing warehouse space utilization, minimizing waste, and aligning operational strategies with business goals. At Creation Technologies in Vancouver, BC, I currently oversee a team responsible for optimizing materials management, logistics, and inventory control. I have been instrumental in implementing strategic solutions like locator-based management and centralized KANBAN, resulting in reduced stockouts and obsolete inventory. By developing and executing SOPs and tracking key performance indicators (KPIs), I have been able to drive continuous improvements and ensure best practices are maintained across operations. My experience also includes leading cross-functional teams to cut lead times, enhancing overall operational efficiency, and aligning demand management with customer forecasts and strategic plans. I have a deep understanding of ERP/MRP systems, warehouse management systems (WMS), and NPI processes. In addition to my technical skills, I am a strong leader, having led teams of varying sizes, from warehouse staff to senior leaders. I focus on fostering growth and development, ensuring alignment with business objectives, and driving high levels of performance. Beyond my current role, my previous experience as a Materials Supervisor and Store Manager further solidified my abilities in process improvement, inventory management, team leadership, and customer satisfaction.
