I design and build inventory and operational decision systems. My focus is not just reporting, it is enabling planning, execution, and control across supply chain operations. With 20+ years of supply chain experience, I work across demand planning, inventory optimisation, replenishment, safety stock, BOM/MRP logic, procurement and operational decision support. — turning fragmented systems and spreadsheet data into practical, decision-ready systems. My approach combines practical tools (Excel where appropriate) with scalable architecture (SQL and automation), allowing solutions to start simply and evolve as the business requires. Typical outcomes include improved stock visibility, reduced shortages and excess, and clearer operational decision-making. What I typically build and deliver: • Inventory health assessments and optimisation reviews • Inventory planning and optimisation systems • Excel-based tools designed to scale to SQL environments • Demand, stock, and constraint-based planning models (BOM, parent/child logic) • Business case and decision-support models • Operational reporting linked to real processes • Bridging tools between ERP systems and operations Selected experience: • Designed and delivered integrated supply chain and inventory solutions across multiple industries • Led inventory optimisation and warehouse enablement projects, including large-scale operations • Built business cases and system designs for distribution centres and inventory systems • Experience across operations, consulting, and implementation, not just analysis • Experience working with inventory environments from operational warehouses to large-scale supply chains How I work: Build → Deploy → Embed • Rapid build using real data • Iterative refinement with the business • Deployment into daily workflow • Ongoing support and enhancement I don’t just design, I build and implement. If you are looking to move beyond spreadsheets into structured, scalable decision systems, I can help you get there quickly and practically.
