Dear Hiring Manager,

Thanks always for your time. I am writing to show my interest in the position “Project Manager”.

During the past 20 years, I have been working in Walmart IT, providing systems solution to support customers. With broad knowledge of supply chain systems and retail business (logistics, warehouse, merchandizing, replenishment, Purchasing, POS, etc), I am very good at trouble-shooting, process engineering, identifying opportunities for continuous improvement.

Customer places order online

Order flows into Manhattan Warehouse System and get fulfilled in the fulfillment center

Home delivery to customer door step

This is a two years, over 2m budget project

The ERP system that I just finished in ProcraftCabinetry Inc is also focused on warehouse management

Inventory control processed enhanced - planned cycle counting based on pre-defined priority of a product; counting difference beyond threshold requires manager approval; no movement report (no sales) is used to correct overstock items

Control in place that no wrong product will be able put into a shipment for a customer, and if a shipment misses a product, Bill of Loading will not be able to print unless approval is obtained for back order

EDI interface with 3rd party transportation company to get freight

Stocking locations are optimized and material pulling efficiency is improved

Purchase activity forecast by history data, thus human error was eliminated

3.Very extensive skill in data analysis, trouble-shooting and Problem solving -- Able to look beyond the phenomenon, see the real problem, make simple the “seem to be complicated issue” and get things done fast
