WORK EXPERIENCE DETAIL
Triumph Group – Spokane
Sr. Manager – Supply Chain
April 2017 – August 2017
I managed a teamof (9) Purchased Agents and (1) Purchased Coordinator with a spend of $114mm/5000SKU
supported 1 US and two Mexico sites within a web based system. Much time was placed in resolving issues,
optimizing and working with the Buyers and suppliers in determining root cause analysis for failure to perform on the
suppliers’ end while maintaining 7 turns a year, 96.4% or better on time delivery to our customers and a 99.6% quality
rating. Notable accomplishments include the following: Working with suppliers to reach “recovered status” on late
shipments thus enabling the production floor to generateover a $1.0mm in revenue in the 1st month and the
company to maintain silver status or better at Boeing, Spirit and Bombardier, all of which had not been accomplished
since the project start over 3 years ago; Realized inventory reductions of over $ 200k with another $550k identified,
ECD 9/30/2017; Negotiateda sole sourced supplier to transfer inventory from the east coast to the west coast which
reduced safety stock to 1 wk and on hand inventory by $250k-$500k monthly. I was also applauded by the President
of the Business unit as well as floor personnel for the above as well as my ability to identify and resolve gaps in the
department’s function, creating written communications on expectations for the department to meet daily, weekly
and monthly requirements as well as written guidelines for long lead items and devised a communications protocol
for deliveries of material that had a high likelihood to impact customer ship date. I also investigated and determined
the on-line delivery metric results were misrepresenting on time delivery for the site and worked with the team to
correct the glitch which moved the on-time delivery from 40% to 64% to 96.4% in 4 months.
