Supply Chain Planner/Buyer II @ USANA Health Sciences

About

As a Supply Chain Planner II at USANA Health Sciences, I apply my expertise in supply planning to optimize inventory management and ensure on-time deliveries for a global health and wellness company. I work with cross-functional teams to analyze historical data, adjust planning parameters, prioritize inventory needs, and communicate effectively with internal and external stakeholders. I have 10+ years of experience in various roles within a manufacturing setting, increasing in scope and responsibility over time. As a Planning Manager at Innovative Labs, I maintained a complex production schedule for 22 filling assets and managed a team responsible for inventory control and distribution of raw material. I then joined Young Living Essential Oils as an International Distribution Planner, where I planned the distribution of $75 million yearly average value of goods for 18 international markets. I am a strong leader, a problem solver, and a quick learner.
