Alida Narcisi

Supply Chain Manager @Cardinal Health

Riverview, FL, US

Built and scaled the site’s Supply Chain organization—established all SOPs, master-data governance, and cross-training programs for warehouse, collections, and sorting teams, driving standardization and audit-readiness. • Led cross-functional teams across supply chain, warehouse, and sorting operations to clear an 18-day production backlog in <3 weeks and boost on-time order fulfilment. • Architected a dedicated SQL server & database, automating multi-source data flows; cut an API download from 24 hours to 20 seconds and eliminated manual reporting. • Automated a replenishment model for returned medical devices that feeds real-time demand, capacity, and transportation data into forecasts, reducing expedited freight spend. • Facilitated a Kaizen event that trimmed transportation and collection costs by 10 % and captured $50 K in tariff-related savings by qualifying local alternate suppliers. • Implemented the site’s first physical inventory in four years and launched a perpetual cycle-count program with an automated daily variance report, elevating accuracy to ≥98 %. • Managed supplier relations and purchasing—issued/expedited POs, led RFQs, and negotiated contracts to secure cost, lead-time, and service improvements. • Supported new product introductions and PPV cost-reduction projects, coordinating with sourcing, quality, and engineering to meet launch timelines and margin targets. • Coached and evaluated staff (warehouse associates, buyers, analysts), fostering continuous improvement, safety, and compliance with FDA, ISO, and Cardinal Health policies. • Cultivated customer relationships through same-day issue resolution and shipment execution, strengthening service levels and repeat business.
