LUIS P. FELIZ

Lowell

Summary

A broad understanding of the supply chain field overall, including procurement, sourcing, negotiation, and acquisition of goods or services required by my organization, and ensuring that purchases are cost-effective, meet quality standards, and align with company requirements. I specialize in creating purchase orders for the production floor, as well as for the engineering and facility teams for non-inventory item requests. In my roles in supply chain, I have conducted strategic procurement planning, supplier relationship management, and overseen purchasing teams' daily tasks, including MRP accuracy, materials handling by the receiving and quality departments, inventory adjustments, and any accounts payable-related issues. My skills also include the handling of major ERP systems software, like Oracle, SAP, and others. I have been working in the supply chain field for over 20 years. I also obtained my associate’s degree in Computer and Networking Applications from a prestigious community college in 2003, and I have also been working in the computer field for approximately 15 years, either directly or indirectly. I look forward to keeping, maintaining, and managing supply chain operations, identifying and evaluating potential suppliers, negotiating contracts, managing supplier relationships, and understanding supply chain dynamics, inventory management, and logistics to the best of my knowledge, and advancing as far as possible in my career.
