About

I have many years of Material Planning and Scheduling experience. The majority of my career has been in the Pharmaceutical industry however, I have worked with several MRP packages including BPCS, MFG-Pro, Navision, SAP, RSMS in the Aviation industry and E2 with Netzer Metalcraft. I am currently using Visual with TheGill Cooperation. I am MS Office proficient, including advanced skills in Excel. I also have experience as a Buyer and have a AA degree in Database Technology. I am proud to say I have been able to adjust to working in several different environments as well as able to go back to the basics where MRP is not utilized.
