Human Resource Professional

RE:

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am currently seeking a Senior Supply Chain, Operations Planning, or Supply Chain Process Improvement management position, with a customer and quality focused forward-thinking company, located in Southern California, preferably in Orange or Riverside counties. I am responding to your on-line recruiting site listing for an experienced hands-on Supply Chain Management professional with strong leadership skills. I am very interested in discussing the requirements that your company has for the subject position. My most current position is as a Supply Chain Manager for a high-tech electronics manufacturing company, where I am responsible for the management and performance for all supply chain processes. This task involved chairing the monthly SIOPS meeting to ensure the Supply Chain Process was streamlined and integrated with production to achieve our monthly output goals.

I am an APICS certified Supply Chain/Purchasing manager with experience in the high tech electronics and digital process measurement equipment fields that spans more than twenty years, with ever increasing levels of responsibility and accountability. The last ten years have provided me the opportunity to integrate total quality management and continuous process improvement techniques into formal ERP Supply Chain systems to achieve a higher level of SIOPS accuracy and performance. My abilities and years of experience within the areas of production and supply chain management will be an asset to your company.

Per your request, I am forwarding a copy of my resume for your review. If you require additional information or clarification, please feel free to contact me during the day at 714-***-****. I look forward to meeting with your company to demonstrate how I can save you money; increase your inventory turns, with supply chain KPI improvement metrics.

Sincerely yours,

Patrick C. Scanlon, CPIM, CSCP

Summary of Qualifications:

I am an APICS Certified Supply Chain Manager, with a proven record of accomplishments in a diverse history of manufacturing companies, as well as being a skilled Master Scheduler, who manages schedules to achieve superior performance.

My teams have achieved improved throughput of operations, increased inventory turns, and customer delivery, as well as reduced overall costs.

Accomplishments:

Achieved inventory reductions of 75%, on a $12M base, over a three-year period, through the use of sound Master Scheduling techniques, Focused Factories, and CPI techniques along with Forecasting and Master Scheduling improvements.
