Hector Aleman

With almost 20 years of progressive Supply Chain and Operations experience, I specialize in the optimization of complex, multi-site networks within the CPG, Nutraceutical, and Pharmaceutical sectors. I have a proven track record of integrating lean manufacturing and strategic procurement while streamlining logistics to accelerate P&L growth—optimizing supply chains supporting $500M+ in annual revenue. My work consistently delivers sustainable, measurable operational excellence.Network Optimization & Supply PlanningI lead end-to-end supply planning for diverse manufacturing environments, managing production timing and volumes across internal sites and global CMO partnerships. By integrating IBP and S&OP disciplines, I bridge the gap between demand signals and manufacturing capacity, ensuring the network remains agile and resilient against market disruptions. I offer a proven ability to align supply chain performance with PE-driven growth objectives, leading teams through ownership transitions while prioritizing operational stability.Inventory & Procurement StrategyI oversee comprehensive inventory management for both raw materials and finished goods. Leveraging ERP/MRP systems (Infor, Oracle, SAP), my approach to procurement is rooted in risk mitigation and cost-efficiency. I focus on building a resilient upstream supply chain that stabilizes downstream manufacturing and minimizes working capital exposure.Logistics & Service ExcellenceI manage the flow of finished goods across sophisticated distribution networks, including 3PL partnerships and internal distribution centers. By optimizing inventory placement and fulfillment strategy, I directly drive the metrics critical to customer success: OTIF (On-Time In-Full) and CFR (Case Fill Rate).Beyond the metrics, I am a firm believer in a "One Team" culture. In high-growth, fast-paced environments, I focus on mentoring talent and breaking down silos. I enjoy the challenge of taking a complex, fragmented supply chain and refining it into a transparent, reliable asset.CORE AREAS OF EXPERTISE:- Strategic Planning: IBP, S&OP, Multi-Site Production Planning (Internal & CMO).- Transformation: Project Management, Lean & Continuous Improvement, KPIs- Transition: Post-Acquisition Integration, PE-Backed Operations, Change Management.- Inventory & Procurement: Raw Material & FG Optimization, Risk Mitigation.- Logistics: 3PL & Distribution Management, Freight & Landed Cost Reduction.- Systems: ERP/MRP (Infor, Oracle, SAP), Process Mapping, OTIF & CFR Optimization.
