Inventory Control Specialist March 2003-October 2003
Caribex Worldwide - Greensboro, NC
Pro-actively created a routine to compare and fix discrepancies between two inventory systems running in parallel during an extended migration from one system to the other. The routine used SQL statements, Excel, and VBA to locate and fix issues in the inventory. Prior to my employment the only method for locating these issues had been through cycle counts. The combination of this routine and regular cycle counts resulted in a much more accurate inventory that saved countless man hours that would have been spent looking for "ghost" packages.
