I've been in the Materials Management / Supply Chain domain for well over 28 years, working for India's largest Steel manufacturing company.
Having been an M.Sc.,MBA, A.P.P. and a Life time C.P.M. also, it is perhaps natural to dwell into the academics of Materials as well as Supply Chain Management. Do please check the following sites of mine :

My work experience has seen me doing projects on Inventory Management, Computerisation of Stores functions, Purchase functions etc. I've lead teams of professionals to achieve satisfactory results in my professional field.
Right now, I'm heading the Materials Management function for my organisation. The tasks are now to complete projects on time, keep the work force motivated, help them realise their individual goals and keep the performance standards to the desired levels.
During my years in Stores , I've handled aptly the Receiving bay, Custody, Automatic Procurement System, Identification and disposal of Idle Assets of the company. I'm also credited with having developed, impelmented and maintained PC based softwares on Inventory Control, Automatic Procurement System etc which have given me three copyrights.
On Purchase front, I've supervised Indigenous purchasing, Imports from across the globe and Labor contracts including contracts for Annual Maintenance of sophisticated equipment.
Having a balance on both academic as well as the work fronts I've launched my own websites to help students of supply chain management / materials management, teachers, researchers and practicing managers like me.
Besides my job, one of my hobbies is to coach young career aspirants and for then and others too I've launched scm site:
