About Kate D.

With extensive experience across supply chain and operations management, I currently support Eaton as an Inventory Control Planner. My expertise lies in production scheduling, capacity planning, and perpetual inventory management, with a focus on achieving operational excellence. Aligned with Eaton\'s mission of driving innovation and efficiency, I bring a collaborative and analytical mindset to enhance supply chain processes and deliver measurable results. Motivated by continuous improvement, I thrive in dynamic environments that value teamwork and strategic problem-solving. At Eaton, I manage production schedules, materials supply, and work orders using Kinaxis Maestro, ensuring high on-time delivery rates. Recently, I spearheaded an initiative to reduce aged work-in-progress inventory from 85% to 4% in 2 months. My role also involves demand vs. capacity planning and implementing strategies that drive efficiency and precision in inventory processes.
