Supply chain results are always pairs, and most résumés for the job report one half of each pair. This example is written out in full so you can read the paired version, then put through the tools here so you can see what a parser stores. The candidate is invented.

Service and stock in the same sentence

On-time in-full from 87% to 96% after the supplier scorecard was rebuilt. Inventory down 22% while holding service, releasing EUR 3.1 million of working capital. The second of those is the line a finance director will read twice, because reducing stock without damaging service is the difficult half of the job.

Writing both halves is the whole discipline. A candidate who reports a service improvement with no mention of stock, or a stock reduction with no mention of service, is describing half a result and every supply chain director knows it.

The planning role explains the management one

Forecast accuracy from 71% to 84% across 400 product lines. Write-offs down 38% after the shelf life review cycle changed. Those are the mechanics underneath the later service and inventory numbers, and keeping them visible shows a manager who can still do the work.

Scale sits at the top: 900 product lines, forty suppliers, twelve countries, a team of six planners and two buyers. Every number in the rest of the page is read against those.

Skills for a supply chain manager résumé, grouped

Ignatius's skills fall into planning, supply and systems. Planning: demand planning, forecasting, sales and operations planning, inventory optimisation. Supply: supplier management, contract negotiation, logistics, risk management. Systems and people: SAP, team leadership. A supply chain director reads the planning group as the core and the risk item as the test.

Procurement-heavy roles add category management as a group of its own. Set this up under Skills in the free résumé builder; one list works too.

From supply planner to supply chain manager

A planner's résumé proves forecast accuracy and stock held at the right level. The Vlietwater roles start there. A demand planner adds forecast accuracy and the meetings you ran.

A manager adds service and stock together, suppliers and a team: service level kept while stock fell, suppliers renegotiated, planners developed. Keep service and stock in the same sentence. The certifications guide covers professional qualifications.

How it reads and scores

The ATS checker scored it 99 out of 100, re-measured on 25 September 2026, with readable volume 3 points short. The second reading is the writing check, which asks how the document is written rather than what a parser can find in it, and it scored 95: 91 of the 96 points that applied. How the reading and the score are produced is set out in the note on how these examples are made.

What this example leaves off

No supplier names, no contract values with individual suppliers and no list of every planning system on the market. A supply chain director assumes the systems and would rather not read a competitor's supplier list.

Cost savings without a service figure beside them are left off as well. A saving that damaged availability is not a saving, and a page that reports one half of a pair invites the director to assume the other half was bad.

What to change for your own

Change the sector. Pharmaceutical, automotive, retail and industrial supply chains all use this shape with different lead times and different regulators. Then put in your own service levels, inventory changes, forecast accuracy and supplier counts.

Keep the pairs together. Keep the qualification with its year. The guide on quantifying achievements covers the figures you may not publish, the design gallery holds 37 layouts, and the logistics coordinator example, the operations manager example and the office manager example sit beside this one.

Questions

Is Ignatius Falkenrath-Mbeki a real person
No. He is invented for this page, and so are Nootdorp Consumer Brands and Vlietwater Foods. The figures show a shape and describe nobody's career.
What is the single best supply chain line
Service up and inventory down in the same sentence. Either alone is easy and the pair is the job. The example holds service while releasing EUR 3.1 million of working capital.
Should supplier counts be included
Yes, with the geography. Forty suppliers in twelve countries across 900 product lines tells a director the complexity, and complexity is what they are hiring against.
What did the checker score it
99 out of 100, re-measured on 25 September 2026, with readable volume 3 points short. The arithmetic is 100 × 30% for parseability + 100 × 30% for completeness + 97 × 40% for content. The writing check beside it scored 95, which is 91 of the 96 points that applied, and the five points it withheld are the tense rule.
Is forecast accuracy worth keeping from an earlier role
It is the foundation of everything above it. Accuracy from 71% to 84% in a planning role explains how the later service improvement was possible, and it sits in the second of the three dated roles.
Which design is this rendered in
Imprint, one of the eight layouts these examples were moved onto on 2026-09-14. This page used to name Monoline, which is outside that set, and the document was moved rather than the paragraph quietly dropped. Of the 37 layouts in the gallery, 24 export a PDF whose text layer scores what the pasted text scores, in a single column with the reading order kept and no graphics; the eight came out of that set.

Conxfolio is a free set of four career tools: a résumé builder with 37 rendered layouts, an ATS résumé checker that prints its own arithmetic, a cover letter builder that traces every proof paragraph back to the line it came from, and a portfolio builder with 22 authored designs. There is no account to create, nothing is held back for a paid plan, and no language model is used anywhere in the product, so the readers, the score and the letter are deterministic code you can check.
