About Michael Afriyie Ampadu

Operations & Supply Chain Leader |Supply Chain | Amazon | Lean Systems | Cross-Site Optimization | Cost Savings | ERP | SIOP | MRP | Inventory Control | KPI Analytics I am an experienced Operations and Supply Chain Manager with a 9+ years track record of delivering measurable impact across multi-site environments in manufacturing, logistics, and enterprise systems. I currently serve as an Operations Manager at Amazon, where I lead high-velocity execution, standard work adoption, and process optimization in one of the world’s most complex fulfillment networks with over 300 direct and indirect reports. Key Career Achievements:$2.3M+ cost and inventory variance resolved through ERP data integrity programs, cycle count resets, and BOM standardization across 4 manufacturing and energy plants. 50%+ reduction in logistics mileage and 80% fewer emergency shipments by launching a cross-site freight consolidation model supported by Power BI visibility and MRP signals. 95%+ part records and vendor profiles corrected, activating clean MRP rollouts and enabling PO suggestions for all critical SKUs, driving forecast accuracy and procurement efficiency. Built and trained a cross-functional supply chain team with video-based SOPs and knowledge retention tools, resulting in onboarding time reduction by 60% and improved role clarity. Led the successful transition from prepaid to Net-45 payment terms for key suppliers, unlocking $300K+ in working capital and strengthening vendor performance through SLAs and volume-tiered pricing. My background also includes 3 years in financial oversight, giving me a sharp understanding of the ROI behind operational decisions. I bridge the gap between strategy and shop floor execution, leveraging SIOP, Lean Six Sigma, ERP/MRP systems (Epicor, SAP) and real-time analytics to improve throughput, reduce waste, and enhance service levels. I am passionate about scalable systems, frontline empowerment, and data-driven operations that fuel growth and resilience. Whether optimizing labor allocation, managing supplier relationships, or engineering inventory flows, I lead with clarity, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
