Experience

Purchasing and Marketing Specialist May 2012 to March 2020

Zen Nails & Salon Chesterfield, Missouri

Purchased equipment, beauty and office supplies then negotiated with distributors, manufacturers, Internet and local suppliers.

Procurement of our powder dip was available only by two vendors when we started at 8 years ago at 60 colors total and grew very slowly, we procure the product and manufacture colors at 2500 colors.

Maintained inventory level from forecast, sales, and rotating seasons. The most difficult type of request for quotes (RFQ) for nail supplies there is so much variety in pricing from one to the next and you have to write down the person you spoke with the day the type the color make sure they give you the correct item.

Annual business analysis detail records of tracking quantity discounts, seasons, method delivery cost and increase cost of the market cost of supplies.

During construction new specifications codes stalled our remodeling. The request for clarification (RFC) was sent several times representative had to be set-up as a to deal with the St. Louis County engineer from whom we hired first advised us who then sent us to the Architect redraw the airflow duct until it would pass an air was difficult constant had to get more RFC and once installed it was to be test and was one of the highest cost of the business set-up. After thus only the backflow and grease trap was the only delay so that was plumbing. There was other issue which require a backflow from the plumbing with annual testing and then just the final finishing of everything was coordination and completed. Just little issue needed to be managed. Even though we requested a lot of request for quotes (RFQ), the time frames were very difficult and when you go through the contracts some only did partial of the job we request. In the end we ended us using people that was referred by word of mouth give us the best RFQ.

Market Analysis after name, theme, style and atmosphere was designed. We found an image that portrayed design, vision and matched our business and area image. Gift certificate, business cards and brochures with exciting phrases to market services. Gift certificates is designed to promotes envelopes with matching logo label ribbon. Finding the mutual spot that make the heart of the campaign moves forward and is similar the temperament of service you will get your idea across. The most important thing is your customer is in agreement of your campaign and following the ideals.

Purchasing Specialist August 2008 to October 2011

Incase Designs Irwindale, California

Designed, set-up and re-file the system for Purchasing and Logistics (P&L) department to prepare for growth in the coming planning and forecast.

Trained team members that joined P& L in areas as my position expanded team.

Maintained open Purchase Orders (PO) in excel and deduct weekly call-offs by processing the invoices from Vendors for each call off in NetSuite an ERP system.

Maintained Landed Cost includes entering every transaction that occurs through all PO then we estimate how much the shipment should cost, then when the invoices from vendors, logistic bills, warehouse fees and customs come in then we see if there are any variations. So at the end of the month all the invoices go through anything that accounting thinks is ours we receive for department approval, I will enter them my landed cost, management will approve it, and send it to accounting again. Associating each bill with accounting and seeing where it lands with us for verification and cost of every item. This gives us Landed cost of every single item that has ship and if there is an error it will also show up. The bill and invoices must match with accounting or there is a mistake in entry in documents or accounting. This gives a cost analysis.

Made barcodes when approved for new products and placed blanket PO for call-off.

Produced at least 1 call-off per week from demand sent from fulfillment and 3-5 for holidays, special promotions. Do call-offs at all times as they come day or night. P&L are required to carry their laptop were ever they go vacation and home at night. Keep an eye open for questions that may effect shipments causing delays that may be very costly

As a team we successfully design a program that quantifiably helped to solve a large bulk of work regarding call-offs for both Operations and P & L uses.

Purchasing Specialist, Estimator, Administrator July 2008 to August 2008

A&W Fence Company Compton, California

Research for new contracts to bid, pull out specifications and plans required to bid on them.

Estimation of projects that were approved and review by manager.

Send out RFQ or RFC assist the supervisor in the shop of materials needed for fabrication of current jobs.

Search for new vendors, better pricing, better products

Purchasing & Inventory Manager August 2006 to July2008

Ace Fence Company La Puente, California

RFQ for Estimators and monthly price sheet for any fluctuations of commonly estimated items.

Responsible to review orders place by my Project Supervisor and verify by going through the contract and reviewing specification and reviewing the blueprints to make sure it lines up with the estimator’s quotation and if not analyze then place the order once resolved.

Sent out any RFC needed and assist the project supervisor and project managers in the shop of materials needed for fabrication of current jobs.

After order all materials for by project with each vendor providing different amounts for each, I began to Job Cost in the Project Manager with this I developed a material order sheet which allows tracking every order and includes my negotiation note for vendors and is in every file.

Provide inspection for material for CALTRANS, LAUSD, METRO, and any other client, which need certificate for materials or just provide certification to the project manager with the certifications. Then mark the material in the yard to be sent to the to the job

Inventory was added to this position later on due to missing materials for job where pipe was order and used and wasted. I labeled all inventory and did counts and push all project materials to one side of the yard. I did intake of materials that took 3 months of inventory climbing trucks to reach and count inventory and placing sticker on materials and also develop way to count fence hardware by weight so we weigh to calculate to determine cost of hardware. Pipe was counted in bundles. We finally found the reasoning of the missing material was due to the yard managers using the wrong material and was trashing the extra material into the recycle bin. At that time I was able to train two people who was able to grasp the concept of what they were doing with the inventory and what was wrong. They were able to take over receiving materials.

Most of my transactions was local vendors, some were far would but those were my highway products; was the metal railing, metal post, wood post, most difficult would be the crash cushions which was very expensive and we would have to provide correct time for the contractor to stop traffic, we provide the crane and they drop it off which is including in the cost, so everything most be done perfectly or we have to pay the cost of the crane and trucking over again. Most of our contracts where with the government which required made in USA so buying import was not as much, but I dealt with so many different vendor to try to get a RFQ because you always want to look for more vendors. I even had one company approach me to buy pipe directly FOB, but cost was too high.

My estimators and Supervisor Project Managers had confidence with my negotiation skills and trusted that if any project cost is not going due to under bidding or labor issues I was able to help with material cost negotiation.

Any additional directions that needed to be sent out in the morning would be left on my desk or called in and I would then give instructions to the dispatcher or the yard manager.
