My name is Obagunwa Adeleke Micheal. I am a Loading Bay and Dispatch Operations professional with over 5 years of experience in FMCG logistics and high-volume warehouse operations.
Currently, I work with CHI Limited as a Loading Bay / Dispatch Manager, where I oversee truck entry, staging, loading, and dispatch coordination. My role focuses on improving truck flow, reducing turnaround time, enforcing safety compliance, and ensuring efficient loading operations.
One of my key achievements is reducing truck turnaround time by 25% and improving loading throughput by 20% through better truck sequencing and operational control. I have also maintained zero Lost Time Incidents by enforcing strict safety procedures and compliance standards.
Before joining CHI Limited, I worked with Sumal Foods Limited as a Dispatch Lead, where I supervised loading bay activities, coordinated truck scheduling, and ensured accurate dispatch documentation and weighbridge compliance.
I am skilled in loading bay operations, dispatch coordination, truck flow management, safety enforcement, ERP systems, and inventory management. I consider myself a strong team leader who performs well in fast-paced environments and focuses on operational efficiency and continuous improvement.
