- Address any issues related to shipping, customs clearance, or regulatory compliance.
4. Demand Forecasting & Planning:
- Work with cross-functional teams to develop accurate demand forecasts.
- Align supply chain processes with forecasted demands to ensure adequate production schedules and timely deliveries.
5. Cost Management & Optimization:
- Continuously seek opportunities to reduce costs across the supply chain while maintaining quality.
- Conduct cost-benefit analysis for different suppliers, logistics methods, and inventory strategies.
- Ensure that all processes are compliant with company budgets and financial goals.
6. Quality Control & Compliance:
- Ensure that all materials and processes comply with industry standards and government regulations.
- Implement quality control measures across the supply chain to maintain product standards.
- Work with the quality team to address any quality issues or product defects.
7. Team Leadership & Development:
- Lead, train, and develop the supply chain team to ensure a high-performance culture.
- Provide guidance and support to team members to help them achieve departmental objectives.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams including engineering, production, and sales.
8. Data Analysis & Reporting:
- Track key supply chain metrics (KPIs) such as lead times, costs, inventory turnover, supplier performance, and on-time delivery rates.
- Prepare regular reports for senior management highlighting supply chain performance and opportunities for improvement.
- Use data analytics to make informed decisions on procurement, inventory, and logistics strategies.
Key Requirements:
- Education: Bachelor’s degree in Supply Chain Management, Logistics, Business Administration, or a related field.
- Experience: 10+ years of experience in supply chain management, preferably in the public lighting or similar industries (e.g., electrical equipment, construction, or infrastructure).
- Certifications: APICS, CSCP, or Lean Six Sigma certifications are a plus.
Required Skills & Competencies:
1. Strong Negotiation Skills: Ability to effectively negotiate with suppliers and logistics partners.
2. Analytical Thinking: Ability to analyse data, forecast demand, and make decisions based on data insights.
3. Problem-Solving: Strong problem-solving skills to address supply chain disruptions and improve processes.
