John attained a Masters of Engineering Science from Auckland in 1996. This qualification specialises in theoretical and applied mathematics using computational modelling to solve optimisation problems. His masters degree was in computational fluid dynamics specifically as it relates to air flow around yacht sails.
Upon leaving university, John joined a large multinational FMCG company with a great culture and plenty of opportunity. At Heinz-Wattie he held a number of roles over a 17 year period spanning: planning analysis, production management, information technology, engineering maintenance, distribution, continuous improvement, and sales and operations planning. His longest tenure was 7 years as national Sales and Operations Planning (S&OP) manager responsible for demand planning, production planning, production scheduling, material scheduling and distribution planning.
John enjoys working with people to improve process and applying optimisation techniques to the supply chain and S&OP where applicable. Even as national sales and operations manager, a percentage of his time was dedicated to coding optimisation algorithms and hands on process improvement.
Supply Chain Planning Tools is founded on a belief that, in todays cloud based world, information technology and process optimisation is increasingly capable of adding value to a wider range of organisations with common challenges and opportunities.
