   Member of PDQ\'s Purchasing team.PDQ is an OPW company and part of Dover Corporation.Commodities: Raw material, fabrications, machining, composites, and signs/decals.Tasks:Working Capital Improvements - Inventory Turns: Worked with suppliers to create stocking programs in order to reduce lead-times and reduce the amount of inventory, at PDQ. Created a streamlined VMI process to aid in information flow to suppliers, and back into Syteline. Modified the process to work with Oracle. The format is common between suppliers and easily reviewed, and changed, when needed. The review of stocking levels, using PFEP and other methods, has led to a 50% reduction in inventory, for some suppliers. Working Capital Improvements - Payment Terms: Negotiated extended terms with suppliers, where possible. Improve Supply Base - Created a supplier site audit that allows PDQ to rank potential new suppliers, against our existing supply base. The ranking was, also, incorporated into our supplier scorecards. Transitioned out of numerous legacy suppliers, because they failed to meet delivery and quality requirements. The were replaced with new suppliers, that have world class capabilities.Best Cost Country - Expanded PDQ\'s spend in China, mostly on machined, and fabricated, components. Was able to achieve cost savings goal, while improving overall quality. In-Sourcing - Worked with manufacturing acquiring new equipment for in-sourcing projects. Acquired a printer, and laminator, that allowed us to save more than 50% on our decal/sign spend. Helped justify a press brake, and a waterjet, to reduce cost on major fabrication and provide quick turn around for R&D projects. On both projects, the ROI was less than two years.ERP Implementation - Was a member of Dover Fluids Global Design Team, for an Oracle implementation at all operating units, including PDQ. PDQ was the first company to begin implementation. I am the Materials and Procurement lead for our team.
