Kohei Yamauchi

I am a Purchaser and Inventory & Allocation–focused analyst with experience supporting multi‑location stock flow, making replenishment and transfer decisions, and improving inventory accuracy through data‑driven insights. My background in purchasing and logistics gives me a strong understanding of how inventory moves through an organization—from supplier to warehouse to individual branches—and how to balance stock levels to meet demand without creating excess.

In my current role, I evaluate order demand against available inventory, determine whether inter‑branch transfers can be fulfilled, and prioritize replenishment needs based on SKU‑level trends. I also consolidate pre‑order information and build Excel tools that improve visibility, reduce errors, and support faster, more accurate allocation decisions.

I enjoy solving operational problems, simplifying complex data, and creating processes that help teams work more efficiently. Bilingual in English and Japanese; based in Vancouver, BC.
