• I lead and manage a team of 232 Buyers in managing several major accounts with an annual procurement value of USD1.3billion. My role involves developing and implementing comprehensive supply chain strategies as well as systems via the Lean 6-Sigma project methodology (DMAIC) while ensure material supply meets demands in line with purchasing strategies. • In ensuring smooth business operations, I generate accurate forecasts while develop standard processes, trainings and tools to enhance overall operations. I also drive the Matrix Functional team of each Workcell in achieving set goals while constantly track and measure overall performance in line with set metrics while devise improvement strategies in meeting set objectives. In addition, I also ensure prudent optimization of overall purchasing costs and main metrics are aligned to set objectives. • In this business, continuous improvement is vital. Here, I utilize systematic problem solving approach including the 8D method as well as Lead & Statistical tools in driving improvement. • Other key responsibilities include coaching and developing subordinates while engage current as well as potential customers in supporting business development activities. Part of the successes includes: • Initiated Kaizen improvement in 3 key focus areas including process automation, workforce training and retention as well as inter-departmental synergy in improving customer delivery averages from 40% to 90%. • Drove process automation in achieving 70% reduction in task completion time of selected processes. • Implemented Customer Request Date (CRD), On Time Delivery (OTD) and MPS performance metrics in achieving average department turnover of 0.5% compared with 10% previously. • Enhanced materials visibility in reducing overall manufacturing costs by 4%. • Champion the communication and sharing of the “Best Purchasing Practices” across the South East Asian region for all successful projects implemented.

• Amazing Experience! I was relocated from Brazil to the US. Here, I led and assisted Workcell management encompassing purchase execution, cost control, logistical optimization as well as new product introduction (NPI) in meeting departmental goals and objectives. • Part of the role was to oversee process and manpower development while established key measurement metrics as well as improvement strategies to positively impact bottom line results. Besides that, I ensured Purchasing and Materials Planning functions are executed in accordance to business objectives, policies and procedures • I also conceived and developed purchasing systems in achieving set quality and environment requirements as well as ensured the importance of materials supply equal demand doctrine is clearly cascaded across the team. • Talent development is crucial, hence I initiated in-depth training for employees while tracked individual performance in enhancing assimilation into the team. To ensure proper check and balance for training and execution, I established and executed procurement audit plans. • I constantly initiated continuous improvement via the Lean 6-Sigma methodology. Part of the successes included the improvement overall MRO process via the reduction of non-value adding activities resulting in 77% automation level. • Furthermore, I led comprehensive review and modification of Contract & Tender Process resulting in a savings of USD475,000 within one quarter while spearheaded the supplier reduction initiative to achieve 30% reduction in supply base, cost savings of USD369,000 and cost avoidance of USD4million per quarter as well as improved Inventory Flexibility Program participation from 3% to 16%.

• After being promoted to the position of Subject Matter Expert, my key role was to develop and maintain procedures as well as systems in ensuring full compliance to company policies and procedures at all times. • One of the biggest challenges was to continually evaluate the current processes and tools under specific subject matter to determine the ability to meet the department’s business needs. • In doing so, I had to constantly seek out best practices and benchmark world class processes to continually develop and automatize the Materials Management processes within the Supply Chain and to eliminate non-value adding human intervention in order to shorten execution time and avoid waste as well as diminish operation costs. • Other than that, I coordinated and facilitated training of Materials department employees. I also conducted training for multiple Jabil subsidiaries in the US, Mexico.

• Moving on to another key area of supply chain management, I was tasked to supervise demand management as well as sizing process administration. Here, I monitored the follow up processes with customers and suppliers via Material Resource Planning (MRP) analysis. • Besides that, I controlled and managed material metrics with key focus on Cost Reduction Outcomes as well as Inventory Levels & Days of Inventory Reductions. I also ensured swift actions to prevent External Material down time in guaranteeing On Time Delivery as well as excellent performance on Push Out & Cancel Metrics.

• My key role was to expedite material purchasing and negotiations from local as well as international vendors in supporting business operations. Besides that; • I led Supplier Development within Brazil for export to subsidiaries across the globe; • Part of this involved controlling Material Metrics and ensured Jabil expectation was clearly communicated to the suppliers in continuously improving the supply base; • I also negotiated with vendors on terms and conditions that best protect the interest of Jabil and its customers. Others key roles included managing the tracking and execution of New Product Introduction. (NPI)
