Absolutely, it's a key part of the Supply Chain process. I worked in Logistics and warehousing before becoming a Supply Chain Planner.
You’re already in it! 😄 Once you have logistics & warehousing experience, a lot of supply chain specialist/associate/analysts roles require that experience, so you could apply to those
Of course. Warehouse experience can help you develop skills in organizing and tracking inventory, which are important skills for SCM roles.
Awesome! Looking forward to making steps toward switching roles within the next few years. Is there any advice you could offer?
Of course! It's always helpful to be familiar with every step of the supply process. Personal experience in warehouse work is a huge benefit!
Yes, it’s highly sought after experience for roles like: supply chain operations specialist/analyst/associate. You’d be able to apply after 1-2 yrs. I’d suggest during this time to get your excel skills down (YouTube) since SCM is usually very focused on numbers and reports.
Absolutely! Super valuable experience! Helps provide a better understanding of warehousing and logistics capabilities and challenges experienced at these locations.
Great! I thought it would be useful to know what it's like to work on this side of the process if I ever made the switch
