Dear____:
My solid background as a Vice President of Operations with proven success in managing multimillion-dollar consumer products supply chain operations and contract manufacturing operations for major firms—including five years with the Tilia Company (now a brand within Sunbeam and Holmes)—has allowed me to hone considerable skills that can be effectively utilized by your organization. My experience is equally divided between footwear and consumer electronics (cameras, computers, and kitchen appliances).
My extensive knowledge of the consumer products industry, and manufacturing/supply chain best practices, enabled me to reduce costs by $5.3 million and synchronize customer demands and production rates to manage global inventories, facilitating growth from $50 million to $200 million for Tilia. I also offer:
• Critical thinker and adept negotiator who can source and start up contract manufacturing organizations to lower your costs and increase your competitive advantage.
• Leader who can eliminate mislocated/uneconomic company-owned or public warehouses and achieve significant savings.
• Problem solver who can reduce the number of carriers and develop transportation contracts that will lower your freight costs.
• Talent for developing highly cohesive cross-functional teams enables an integrated operations-planning process that reduces inventory levels and service failures and increases sales, financial performance, and continuous process and productivity improvements.
Additional qualifications and skills can be found in the accompanying resume.
In an effort to discuss this matter further, I will be contacting your office within the next few days. If you have any questions I can be reached at the numbers listed above.
Sincerely,
Herbert Allen
