Implemented a purchasing/inventory control system as head of purchasing at Formedica, a Canadian manufacturer of orthopedic soft goods and distributor of home health care products. Responsibilities included:

• Purchasing of raw material for manufacturing of orthopedic soft goods
• Purchasing of home health care products to be distributed under Formedica's brand
• Inventory control
• Relations and negotiations with suppliers (Canada, USA, Italy, France, Taiwan)
• Setting up of a computerized purchasing and inventory control system

Effort resulted in more precise data on cost of manufactured goods and an all-time low inventory level while decreasing the back-orders as the company doubled its sales in a few years.
