When creating purchase orders, I was in charge of negotiating prices, Incoterms, quantities, and lead times with suppliers. Each purchase order needed to include comprehensive notes explaining the actions taken during the negotiation process, along with the relevant attachments such as proformas, comparative quotes, or price controls. In cases involving highly specific materials, I ensured that necessary files, such as Gerber files, technical drawings, or XLIFF files for translations, were included to provide accurate information about what was being purchased. This meticulous attention to detail guaranteed that all aspects of the procurement process were well-documented and easily accessible for future reference, ensuring a smooth and efficient workflow.
Financial Oversight for Businesses In this role, comprehensive material price controls were implemented based on historical purchase prices, allowing for a meticulous analysis of savings and losses. This approach enabled the establishment of key performance indicators (KPIs) that provided valuable insights into the company’s financial health. By closely monitoring these metrics, we could ensure that spending aligned with budgetary goals and identify areas for improvement in cost management strategies
I conduct thorough market research to identify potential suppliers, analyzing their offerings and capabilities. I then request and compare multiple quotes, evaluating factors such as price, quality, delivery time, and compliance with required certifications. Additionally, I collaborate closely with new suppliers to establish mutually beneficial relationships, ensuring they meet our standards and contribute to a reliable supply chain.
I managed stock levels by carefully monitoring lead times, safety stock, and material transit, ensuring that inventory aligned with past consumption patterns and future forecasts. By comparing these parameters, I anticipated demand fluctuations and adjusted orders accordingly to avoid shortages or excess, ensuring a steady and efficient supply chain.
