Hi everyone,
Thanks for welcoming me to the group!
I'm Eileen, currently working as a Staff Planner at Illumina. I hold the APICS CPIM certification and have a background in Business Applications with a specialization in Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP).
I bring over 15 years of experience in supply chain management across planning, operations, inventory management, ERP transformation, and process optimization. Throughout my career, I have led and contributed to various continuous improvement, digital transformation, and operational excellence initiatives, helping organizations improve service levels, optimize inventory, enhance data visibility, and drive productivity gains.
Over the years, I've also earned certifications in SAP, Predictive Analytics and AI for Inventory Optimization, Demand Planning & Forecasting, and the Supply Chain Demand Planning & Forecasting Professional (CSCD™).
I'm currently planning to pursue ASCM's Supply Planning Certificate and am passionate about continuous learning and professional growth within the supply chain field.
One of my long-term goals is to relocate internationally, so I'm keen to connect with professionals across the industry, learn from your experiences, and exchange ideas on supply chain planning, digital transformation, and operational excellence.
I'm also open to volunteering for supply chain initiatives, industry research, mentoring programs, or community projects. If there's an opportunity where I can contribute my experience and expertise, I'd love to get involved and give back to the community.
I look forward to connecting with everyone, learning from your insights, and contributing to the discussions within this amazing community.
Welcome Eileen! It's great to have you here. Congrats on earning your CPIM! If you are interested in mentoring or volunteering, we would love to have you. Our annual call for volunteers opens next month, and we strongly encourage members to apply for the opportunities that they think are the best fit for them. When the call opens, we will announce it here in the community and via email. If you have any questions about navigating the Supply Chain Knowledge Center, please don't hesitate to message me.
That’s Great. Thanks for the info 🥰
You have an impressive background, Eileen! Like Stephanie mentioned, there are plenty of opportunities to contribute within ASCM so go for it!
Of all your credentials and experiences, which one would you say has been the most meaningful for your career advancement?
Thanks for the compliments, Renee! 🫶 I’ve already submitted my areas of interest.
Do you know what the typical timeline and process look like for next steps?
I love to dive into roles where I can combine operational excellence with digital transformation that analytical sweet spot is exactly what I love to do!
Hi Eileen, thanks for updating your areas of interest. Our Call for Volunteers will open next week, so you will be able to review all the potential opportunities then. As Renee said, with your experience, there will be many opportunities for you to choose from.
Oh. So the current volunteering post on the page is different from wat u have mentioned ?
Yes, there will be even more opportunities (that are more supply-chain specific) that will be active next week. Thank you for submitting your interest in the current opportunities as well. We appreciate it!
