01 — The Problem-Solver

From spreadsheet chaos to planning discipline.

I guide growing businesses away from error-prone manual tracking and legacy accounting-only setups into structured inventory lifecycle management, accurate demand forecasting, and disciplined material planning.

Before — The Spreadsheet Bottleneck

  • Phantom inventory

    Discrepancies between what the system says and what is actually on the shelf.

  • Excel version chaos

    Critical BOM and stock data trapped in conflicting spreadsheet copies.

  • Delayed assemblies

    Production stalls waiting on parts nobody knew were short.

  • Manual PO stress

    Reorder decisions made by gut feel instead of consumption data.

After — The MRP Discipline

  • Structured inventory lifecycle

    Receiving, kitting, consumption and replenishment governed by one system of record.

  • Accurate demand forecasting

    Historic consumption trends and part usage rates drive what to buy — and when.

  • Right-sized safety stock

    Optimal thresholds protect production output without tying up cash.

  • Repeatable processes

    Disciplined receiving, counting and fulfillment workflows that audit cleanly.

Legacy tools aren't the enemy — stale data is. The migration is where I come in.

02 — Experience & Resume

Hands on the floor, eyes on the data.

Eight years of material planning and inventory control, plus daily logistics and asset-tracking operations — select a role to expand it.
