Supply Chain Planner @ Nestlé
About
As a Supply Chain Planner at Nestlé, I work with cross-functional teams to plan, monitor, and optimize the production and distribution of various products, ensuring customer satisfaction, operational efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. I use SAP and MS Office to analyze data, generate reports, and implement solutions for complex supply chain challenges. With six years of experience in Manufacturing/Production Planning for leading brands such as Victoria’s Secret, GAP, CK, NIKE, HBI, Tommy Hilfiger, NB, and M&S, I have developed strong skills in Capacity Planning, Optimization of Efficiencies, Materials Requirements Planning, and Budgeting. I have also contributed to several process improvement initiatives, such as reducing changeovers, increasing standard hours, and securing internal capacity. I hold an MBA from the University of West London and a BS in Logistics, Materials, and Supply Chain Management from Dalian Maritime University. I am a highly motivated, analytical, and problem-solving professional who is eager to learn and grow in a challenging and dynamic environment.
