A Supply Chain Analyst, also known as a Procurement Analyst, Inventory and Demand Planner or a Supply Chain Admin/Data Analyst oversees the supply chain of an organisation. This means that they are responsible for the smooth running of the entire supply chain from your warehouse or factory to the customer.

One of their main roles is to improve the productivity and efficiency of your supply chain and to research and implement strategies that keep costs down and service delivery up. Their overriding goal is to ensure that your company’s products meet the demand of your customers. 

Since supply chains can quickly become overwhelmed by even small delays and miscommunications, a skilled Procurement Analyst is a key employee. This is a person who can quickly troubleshoot issues, put fixes in place and keep the supply chain moving. In fact, the ongoing success of a business often relies on the creativity and problem-solving abilities of their Supply Chain Analyst.

The role of a Supply Chain Analyst is broad reaching and may include the following tasks, depending on your needs:

• Collecting and analysing supply chain data to improve productivity and efficiency.
• Developing and implementing strategies to optimise supply chain operations.
• Researching and sourcing suppliers and negotiating best prices.
• Maintaining positive relationships with suppliers.
• Ensuring suppliers maintain compliance with quality standards.
• Reporting on supply chain operations to senior management.
• Collaborating with logistics, procurement and IT to maximise service delivery.
