I've worked successfully in purchasing over 9 years, after I left semiconductor company AMD working 11 years.
In the past years, I have dived into different fields, electric devices, medical equipment, Automotive, Beauty, Health, Personal Care, Toys and Games, Home and Kitchen, Sports and Outdoors, Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry, Office Products,
I've placed ~100 orders in Y2023, value 3.91 million cross 346 SKUs.
I was managing 9 brands, more than 30 products last year. I am ready to learn a new industry. New things and learning is always accompanied by my work.
I am good at troubleshooting; I used to find the defects and work with suppliers to get it solved. for example, I revised the assembling process for product laryngoscope and improved 11.5% pass rate; I repaired critical part camera by hand make, I repaired 120u camera, content cable and plastic upper, ~5K dollars cost saving.
Furthermore, I used to visit the suppliers/ factories to negotiate the price, payment term, and audit /quality control in person. I visited 140 factories. I understand well how they take care of product quality by line tour, talk face to face, offline company background checking or communication, their reports and attitude.
