Reggy Hudgins

Director of Supply Chain @Hydraforce Inc

Led a tenured team through the operational and economically challenged environment over the past three years, while increasing supplier capacity, instituting risk mitigation measures, and managing inventory/costs. • Supported three North American manufacturing sites by sourcing and purchasing $250M of domestic and international hydraulic components. • Utilized the CPFR process with suppliers to focus on critical need components, which reduced past dues by 70% and increased customer shipments by 30%. • Developed a sourcing commodity strategy and implemented process enhancements to utilize a formal RFQ process to drive results, including a risk mitigation strategy to dual source 30% of the highest volume components. • Integrated process and systems improvements, including utilization of a cloud based Supply Chain analytics tool, reporting metrics dashboards, and production fill rate/past due tracking, including a “clear to build” tool for tracking production shortages. • Instituted appropriate executive oversight by transforming a primarily manual purchase order fulfillment process by including approval limits, price change authorizations, and reporting metrics as part of the process.
