Work Experience

Material planner

Magna International Inc - Spring Hill, TN September 2016 to March 2020

I have many years experience with systems, operations management, purchasing and planning. I have my Associates degree in Medicals Records which gave me the necessary training to be successful with my career.

I am trained in SAP and other systems of inventory management. I have worked with suppliers on their releases to ensure on time delivery of product to meet production requirements. Time is always of

the essence when it comes to a line down situation. These circumstances have deeply developed my long term planning skills. Supplier relationships are key in ensuring open and honest communication is always present.

I have been responsible for tracking deliveries and receipts, inventory levels and cycle counts of the material from release of a part until it is delivered to the line and then back flushed out of the system. It was my duty to solve any discrepancies with inventory and correct any issues so that Finance, Production, Quality and Materials were in agreement on all accounts.

I created the 2020 PFEP spreadsheet and managed through the year of incoming and outgoing material within the sheet. Along with requesting and collecting every supplier’s contacts, EDI information and NAFTAs. Accuracies has always been a task to maintain in it’s aspects of the supply chain.

I have been involved in developing operating procedures for many departments for standardization. I have assisted in new product launches and all that is involved in having a successful change over.
