Experience
Materials08/2014 to 06/2015Flextronics International USA IncBuffalo Grove, IL
  • Assisted in establishing a materials group within a "Greenfield" operation at the new Flextronics Buffalo Grove location. Initiated and helped to bring live a new MRP system (Baan V), as well as managing and building a new supplier base that was non existent. Sourced and created over 100 NEW suppliers both direct and indirect, along with gathering multiple quotes while negotiating pricing, establishing lead times, and overall securing a supply chain for the growing business unit.
  • Learned and utilized many applications available within Flextronics serving many critical functions. This included a vendor management tool for setting up new suppliers, and indirect procurement tool for generating shopping carts which would route through and approval loop and then re-generate as a PO in ERP, an AP tool which routed all "blocked" invoices to the buyer for resolution, as well as a receiving challenge tool which communicated any deliveries that either came in early, late, or were missing critical information on the paperwork such as a PO, part #, etc...
  • Consulted global procurement directors in charge of both direct and indirect spend within Flextronics in terms of globally approved "strategic" suppliers, any existing contracts and pricing that may be in place with them already. Assisted them in "benchmarking" local suppliers or local strategic supplier business units in order to secure a competitive bidding process both globally and locally.

The buyer made sure to identify and record any unfavorable purchased price variance in case the standard cost had to be adjusted.
  • Managed purchasing for two sites. The main 800 site operation consisted of assembly, injection molding, warehousing, shipping and receiving.

  • Since day one was fully responsible for both indirect and direct procurement of all MRO, raw material, packaging, and other misc supplies.

  • Managed external resources on multiple occasions. During the first couple months of the operation, there was no ERP system in place. External resources from other Flextronics sites had to be managed on a daily basis in order to issue hard copy PO to send suppliers.

  • Created and managed a non-goods receipt process within the ERP system. Since Baan V was lacking an NGR functionality to close non-tangible service related PO at the time of creation, a template was created to officially approve services that were completed and needed to be received or closed by the receiving department.
