About Geoffrey Geoff Shive

G••••••••@ShiveSupplyChainSolutions.com 70••••••51 I enjoy solving difficult problems in forecasting and planning, and leading difficult projects, to make best use of available resources. I have broad experience in engineering and supply chain, and deep experience in demand planning, supply planning, and project management. I have demonstrated leadership ability to manage change in virtual and on-site environments, through collaboration and influence.Working as a consultant for past seven years, I have helped clients ranging from $1 million to over $1 billion in annual revenue. I focus primarily on demand planning, supply planning, S & OP, and project management. I help with day-to-day operations, best practices, and improvement projects. I\'m currently helping several companies develop and best practices while implementing new planning software.I am pleased that over the course of my career I have used every skill I learned in my degree including various statistical methods and cost/benefit analysis. I have been able to apply a detailed, methodological approach to solve difficult problems such as when I recently helped a client optimize production lot sizes or when I have helped implement planning processes and software.In my free time I enjoy reading, bicycling, solving various kinds of puzzles, and singing in a choir.
