M Gomathi_Procurement & Warehouse Manager (pdf)
DownloadCertainly. I have over 12 years of progressive experience in supply chain management, with roles spanning procurement, inventory control, warehouse operations, and ERP implementation. My work has taken me across India, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia, where I’ve contributed to large-scale construction and industrial projects, driving efficiency and cost savings.
I have worked in diverse sectors, including construction, fire safety equipment, tire mold manufacturing, automobile components, and UPVC window fabrication. This cross-industry exposure has strengthened my ability to adapt processes and lead supply chain initiatives in various operational environments.
Yes. I have led both department-specific teams and cross-functional groups across supply chain, accounts, HR, and warehouse operations. My leadership style focuses on collaboration, measurable KPIs, and continuous improvement.
Absolutely. I have coordinated import/export processes across Gulf countries and India, managed documentation, ensured compliance with trade laws, and liaised with customs agents. I'm also well-versed in using government portals for certifications and trade approvals.
I have hands-on experience in implementing and training teams on ERP systems such as SAP MM, Tally ERP, and Focus ERP. I’ve led transitions from manual to automated inventory systems, conducted UATs, and developed SOPs to ensure smooth onboarding and consistent usage.
Yes. I’m fully open to global relocation. My past assignments in Qatar and Saudi Arabia have equipped me to adapt quickly to new cultures and regulatory environments..
I actively engage with supply chain forums, follow thought leaders on LinkedIn, and complete certifications or training when possible. I also explore new technologies like Power BI and cloud platforms to stay aligned with digital transformation trends.
I use demand forecasting combined with ABC analysis to prioritize inventory. I align procurement cycles with lead times and leverage ERP tools to monitor reorder points, ensuring optimal stock without surplus.
I maintain a risk register for critical suppliers and regularly evaluate alternative sourcing strategies. I’ve implemented buffer stocks and use KPI dashboards to quickly identify and respond to delays.
I use weighted scorecards evaluating cost, quality, delivery, compliance, and past performance. I also ensure suppliers meet ISO and local standards and conduct periodic performance reviews.
When negotiating cost savings, I first understand what drives the cost, like materials or labor.
I make sure quality requirements are clear and not compromised. I look for win-win solutions, such as offering larger orders or longer contracts to get better pricing. I also compare quotes from other suppliers to keep pricing competitive. I work closely with suppliers to find ways to reduce costs without affecting quality, and I focus on overall value, not just the lowest price. Building a good, honest relationship with suppliers also helps us reach better deals.
For accurate inventory tracking in construction and manufacturing, I use inventory management systems with barcode or RFID technology to track materials in real time. I perform regular cycle counts and physical audits to ensure system accuracy. I also maintain clear documentation of material movements and work closely with warehouse and project teams to keep records up to date. This helps reduce errors, avoid shortages, and support smooth project execution
I implement 5S methodology and layout optimization to streamline space. Safety protocols include daily HSE checklists, PPE compliance, and fire safety drills.
I prepare and verify commercial invoices, packing lists, certificates of origin, LC documentation, and MSDS where applicable. I coordinate with freight forwarders and customs agents to prevent delays.
By staying updated with INCOTERMS, HS codes, and government export/import regulations. I’ve worked with customs clearance teams to ensure timely document submission and avoid demurrage charges.
I align purchase planning with financial budgets and track actual vs. planned spends using ERP and Excel dashboards. I support cost control by tracking supplier contracts and avoiding unnecessary purchase orders.
I coordinate with the accounts team for GST input reconciliation and ensure timely filing through Tally ERP. I also prepare supporting documentation for audits.
I develop MRP-based schedules using ERP systems, align POs with production timelines, and use visual management boards (Gantt charts) for tracking progress and delays.
I’ve developed audit checklists aligned with ISO 9001 standards, conducted regular audits across departments (Procurement & Stores), and implemented effective corrective action plans. I’ve also supported thorough documentation for both internal and external audits, ensuring compliance and continuous improvement.
By implementing SOPs based on ISO 9001:2015, training staff on documentation practices, and participating in management review meetings to track non-conformities and improvements.
During a major project in Saudi Arabia, a key supplier failed to deliver structural materials on time. I immediately activated our supplier contingency plan, contacted alternate pre-qualified vendors, and negotiated expedited delivery with air freight. Simultaneously, I rescheduled dependent tasks in coordination with the project team to mitigate downtime. The delay was contained to 48 hours, and we met the overall project deadline.
In my role at Huiyu Construction, delivery delays were frequent due to poor coordination between procurement and warehouse. I conducted a process audit, identified bottlenecks in PO approval and GRN mismatches, and restructured the workflow using ERP Tool. Automation of alerts and approval loops improved synchronization, reducing delivery time by 25%.
At Diplomat Fire Systems (Qatar), a year-end audit revealed a 10% inventory mismatch. I led a root cause analysis and found manual logging and no barcode tracking as major gaps. I implemented a cycle counting system and introduced barcode scanning integrated with Focus ERP. Within three months, the variance dropped to under 2%.
When joining a company with disorganized storage, I conducted a layout replan using ABC classification and FIFO flow paths. High-movement items were relocated closer to dispatch, and racking systems were optimized vertically. Result: 15% faster picking times and 20% increase in usable space.
