Sous la responsabilité du VP Finance et Opérations je participe à une variété de projets dans le cadre de l’optimisation des opérations de la chaîne d’approvisionnement. Je suis en charge d’évaluer les besoins du département des Opérations, de documenter les processus systèmes de même que les processus hors systèmes. Je veille à ce que les « bonnes pratiques » soient communiquées, mises en place et maintenues. Mon principal focus se situe au niveau des innovations technologiques et numériques. Je possède un très bonne connaissance du fonctionnement de l’entreprise et des enjeux économiques et j’agi comme « propriétaire de solution » à des initiatives et implantations de projets opérations et IT. Je contribue à maintenir un environnement d’amélioration continue et recherche la performance opérationnelle.

Collaborating often with the Retail and Supply department, I am in charge of the optimization of flows and stocks for all 140 stores (sales, supplies, restockage, returns). I analyze daily retail stock and survey all our shipments. I keep daily contact with the sales teams (Store Manager, sales associates, etc.) and ensure that the teams follow their procedures and that they are well-trained in all logistical skills. My responsibilities: Manage the supply to all 140 stores: Coordinate the display of collections, calculate the optimum delivery time according to the type of store/outlet and provide support for the management. Inventory management: Optimize stockage based on the sales performance of each retail outlet, the storage capacity of the stores and the feedback I get from each stores. I am in charge of the management and analysis of all inventories (weekly inventory, corrective inventory, e.g.) and work particularly closely with the sales teams to implement action plans targeted for each store. Monitor the IT developments necessary to improve logistical tools.
