Most supply chain experience sections read like the job posting: “managed inventory,” “coordinated with suppliers,” “improved processes.” A recruiter skimming 40 profiles can't tell a planner from a buyer off bullets like that — and LinkedIn search can't either.
A strong supply chain bullet names the function, the system and one measurable result. The 6 rewrites below cover planning, procurement, logistics and leadership — steal the structure, then score your own.
“Run S&OP for 4,000 SKUs in Kinaxis” is searchable and verifiable. “Managed planning processes” is neither.
OTIF, forecast accuracy, inventory turns: the metric in the bullet is the term in the search.
Cost-out, service level, downtime avoided: a single number beats a paragraph of duties.
Name the scope and the system, then close with the number.
