Dear Hiring Manager,
I'd like to talk to you regarding an opportunity to apply my supply chain
experience in purchasing and materials management with Hunter Douglas and
my determination to succeed with your company. Having completed the
successful consolidation of five west coast plants into a state-of-the-art
facility in Sacramento, CA I'm looking forward to relocating back to the
east coast to take on new challenges.
As Materials Manager of Hunter Douglas' west coast operations I direct the
purchase, receipt and handling of all raw materials and packaging to
support manufacturing across five production departments. By leading a
diverse inventory management team of buyers, receivers and material
handlers, we've reduced inventories without negatively impacting the
availability of raw materials or packaging. We also significantly improved
on KPIs leading to a positive financial impact on the company. These
accomplishments and my desire to work on optimizing the strategic supply
chain areas of cost and customer satisfaction drive my search towards new
opportunities.
The attached resume details my work history which focuses on adding value
and my continuing education in supply chain management at the graduate
level. I look forward to hearing from you about any opportunities
available.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
David Kulp
