Paul K

Organized procurement and supply chain specialist with 3+ years of work experience in reducing costs and increasing service quality.

Strong in customer focus, planning, coordination, interpersonal, and problem-solving skills.

I am seeking to create productive and enduring partnerships for the efficiency and smooth running of business and organizational activities.

Currently serving as a Warehouse and supply chain officer at CKL AFRICA LTD. I'm carrying out duties on raising purchase requisitions, following up with suppliers for on-time deliveries, inspecting and receiving raw materials, daily reconciliation of physical and ERP system stocks, maintaining accurate inventory movements reports, dispatching finished goods in regard to the FIFO rule, optimizing truck turn-around time, and stock-taking.

I served as a supply chain assistant from 2019 to 2020 at Nkubu Farmers Store where I was in charge of issuing materials, carrying out the inspection of supplies, maintaining stock levels, and stock taking.

In 2018, I served as a procurement trainee where I had delegated duties in keeping stock records, placing orders, report writing, and engaging in supplier selection.

I have gained supply chain management skills in raising purchase requisitions, stock-level control, materials inspection, inventory movement reports, ERPs, dispatch of finished goods, optimization of TAT, FIFO implementation, and stock taking.

I graduated from Meru University of Science and Technology with a Bachelor of Purchasing and Supplies Management and achieved second-class honors, upper-division.
