hire supply chain managers in africa

You hire a supply chain manager when stock-outs, excess inventory and rising freight costs show that purchasing, warehousing and transport are not working as one. A good manager aligns supply with demand, frees up cash tied in stock and makes your business less exposed to port delays and supplier failures.

What to check when screening

  • Check that they have run the full chain, not only one part such as transport or purchasing.
  • Ask which KPIs they tracked, such as service level, stock cover or forecast accuracy, and the results.
  • Confirm their experience with SAP or another ERP for planning and inventory.
  • Look for import experience in your region, with long lead times, customs and currency constraints.

Questions to ask in interview

  • How do you set safety stock for a product with a three-month import lead time?
  • Tell us about a supply disruption you managed. What did you change afterwards?
  • Sales want more stock and finance wants less. How do you settle it?

Skills to look for

  • Demand and supply planning
  • Inventory optimisation
  • SAP or ERP supply chain modules
  • Supplier and 3PL management
  • Supply chain KPIs
  • Import logistics and Incoterms
