Dear Sirs,
In order to briefly introduce myself, I'm a professional with more of ten years of experience in Logistics - Materials
Management, used to work under stress and to pursue more ambitious goals, but always putting the company and
the customer at the center of each activity or project trying to obtain the greatest benefits for both.
After a first part of career developed in production and controlling areas, since 2004 I have always worked in
Logistics - Materials Management area, developing trade agreements, policies of material replenishment,
purchasing forecast and price negotiations.
In my career I have held the position of Head of Logistics, with the direct management of warehouses located in
Italy, UK and Far East; I also represented the Italian plant in Worldwide Logistics Group, comparing with colleagues
European and non-European and implementing global actions with them.
Among the many projects that I have followed over the years as a Team Leader, I want to remember in particular a
few:
• MEDEL GROUP SpA – Total Reorganization of logistics processes: searching for new suppliers (Italy / Europe /
LCC), implementation of purchasing policies dedicated to each item, signing contracts targeted to optimize the
level of stock with existing suppliers; savings for the company has been estimated at over € 700,000 for the
three years from 2012 to 2014 (-35%), while improving the service level offered by the suppliers.
•
WITTUR SpA - Revision of the Supply Chain, especially for the Materials Management of the Italian plant (about
6,000 items, worth € 5 million), which in two years has led to a decline in the stock value of € 3.5 million (-45 %).
Result obtained with the development of “ad hoc” policies for material management based on the single items,
and in parallel several actions based on the reduction of the o
bsolescence, the reduction of Lead Time of
delivery, the supplier list optimization and a rationalization of all the "Make or Buy" processes.
•
WITTUR SpA - Project with a multinational customer for the supply of new products based on their projects,
project that included a dedicated Supply Chain, the study and implementation of a dedicated production
department and the the relationships with their CEDI throughout Europe.
A good knowledge of the English language, utilized in the daily relationships with colleagues of the Group and with
foreign suppliers, and a good knowledge of computers complete my professional profile.
Waiting for your kind reply, I remain at your disposal for a deeper mutual understanding and I thank you for your
attention.
Best Regards
Paolo Suffianò

EDUCATION AND TRAINING

OTHER SKILLS AND COMPETENCES
The different experiences have allowed me to increase my business know-how from multiple points of view, from productive
to administrative and especially logistics, making me flexible in case of activities to be evaluated under different points of view;
during the time I specialized in Supply Chain, and is in this area that I would like to continue my career, providing my expertise
to grow with the company.
I am convinced that the most important target for any company is "Cost Reduction", and every day I put on the field my
experience and my ability to eliminate waste and achieve savings from suppliers, that I prefer to consider and call Partners,
absolutely in a Win-Win policy.
Over the years, mainly thanks to the internal turnover promoted in Wittur Group, I worked in different areas, developing a
remarkable ability to work on a project, intended as targeted to the closure of specific projects (implementation of new
production lines), or work on a target, understood as continuous work aimed at achieving fixed goals (continuos stock
reduction).
My partecipation to different Comitees, responding directly to the General Management, together with the responsibilities of
variously projects, different and complementary to each other, has further strengthened these skills.
Finally, the management of warehouses in England and Hong Kong, and several relationship with suppliers located mostly in
the Far East, have allowed me to extend the working knowledge of these areas.
LANGUAGES
Mother tongue Italian, daily use the English language in relations with colleagues and suppliers; basic knowledge of French.

ERP platforms.

specifically on the advanced use of Microsoft Excel
FURTHER INFORMATION
I’m used to working under stress and to pursue more ambitious goals, always putting the company and the customer at the
center of each activity or project and trying to get the most benefits for both; my aspiration is to work in a dynamic
environment, where I can use the skills and knowledge acquired over the years.

amounted to € 33,000 plus company PC and mobile.
I have no problems to evaluate positions where there are transfers, on the Italian territory and / or abroad.
