A Snapshot of Your Day

Your day will start by reviewing and remedying any short-term logistical arisings reported from your stakeholder network. This could be anything from a quick phone call to a multi-functional meeting where you coordinate responses.

Next up is a weekly review of your performance dashboard which includes KPIs on budget, on-time delivery performance, transport damage, responsiveness, and risk mitigation. You initiate actions with logistics partners to continuously improve performance.

Your afternoon starts with a regular performance review with one of your key logistics suppliers.

  • Personal attention to details of high priority logistics operations ensuring the service meets (or beats) requirements.
  • Creating and maintaining a dashboard of KPIs to measure the performance of the logistics operations
  • Continuous attention to problem solving and improvement initiatives to ensure world class logistics support as Siemens Energy Blades & Vanes expands its global operations.
  • Enforcing contractual clauses in case of shortfall in service levels.
What You Bring
  • Degree (Bachelor or Master) in Business Administration or a similar field, preferably with a focus on Logistics
