Career Objective

Having an experience spanning 14+ years and dealing with suppliers from US, Europe and Far East, I am very familiar with all the policies and procedures involved in the requisition, procurement, quotation requests, invoicing and delivery of the products. Over the years, I have sharpened my knowledge in import, export, inventory control and have a good understanding of financial and accounting principles. I am confident that I will achieve my objective and will surely add value to the organization. My primary objective as a Supply Chain/Operation Supervisor is to ensure all purchase requests are promptly managed, not halting company’s daily operations. I will make sure that suppliers and forwarders go through the bidding procedures before the procurement process as part of the organization’s due-diligence.
