Al Khobar, Eastern, Saudi Arabia
I help manufacturing and trading businesses build procurement systems that move from reactive firefighting to data-driven planning — turning forecasts, supplier networks, and working capital into a competitive edge. Currently leading procurement and demand planning at Saudi Scaffolding Factory (ABT Group), where I manage USD 5M/month in international sourcing across India, UAE, China, Europe, USA, Taiwan, and local KSA. My structural engineering background (M.E., KFUPM) shapes how I approach the problem — treating supply chain as a system to be modeled, stress-tested, and optimized, not just operated. What I've delivered: ▸ 92% forecast accuracy (in an extremely volatile environment) across 26 active SKUs through formula-driven demand planning with tiered service levels ▸ 80% reduction in stockouts by replacing static Min/Max with exponential smoothing + safety-stock modeling ▸ USD 2M working capital freed through 120-day open credit negotiations while maintaining cash-flow neutrality ▸ 3%+ YoY cost reduction through tactical negotiation, container/trailer optimization, and split-award sourcing across 12+ suppliers in 4 countries ▸ 100% SASO / SABER compliance with zero customs holds on international shipments What I work with: SAP MM · ARIBA · SQL · Power BI · Advanced Excel modeling · Custom-built software · Statistical forecasting · Min/Max optimization · Landed cost modeling · KSA customs & compliance What I'm interested in: Roles where data, planning logic, and supplier strategy meet — supply chain analytics, demand planning leadership, procurement transformation, or S&OP. Always open to conversations with peers in KSA / GCC manufacturing and construction supply chain. 📧 [email protected]
