    Henk de Vos Supply Chain & Procurement

    About the facilitator

    Henk is a Supply Chain professional who has designed & delivered business optimisation projects across multiple business sectors, including; Resources, Engineering Construction, Aviation, Utilities, Manufacturing, Defence and Financial Services.

    Henk started his procurement career in the mid 1980’s with Carrier Air Conditioning when purchasing and inventory management was still managed via manual processes. There was limited planning interphase with manufacturing, resulting in regular stockouts of material. This became the driver to his first digitisation project where he designed the companies first MRP system which supported the company for many years

    He then joined UGL Rail (Formerly Goninan) as Supply Manager for the national rail contract after the company secured a contract to build 120 locomotives. This was an increase in production from one locomotive every 4-6 months to a delivery schedule of one every four working days. There was also an ongoing maintenance schedule that ran parallel to the production line requiring a full redesign of the manufacturing processes.

    Following this project, he was responsible for setting up the procurement / logistics function of Minara Resources, a green field mine site, also being Andrew Forrest's first venture into mining. Henk introduced inventory records and systems, warehouses, and all staff from the point of transfer from the Engineering Procurement Construction Management (EPCM) to the client.

    For the next few years, Henk provided supply chain process improvement support across various projects including Defence (Anzac Frigates), Aviation (Boeing and Airbus components) and business digitisation. He was head hunted to join Wesfarmers limited as their inaugural Group Procurement Manager and managed to deliver significant multimillion-dollar benefits to the Group. Following Wesfarmers Limited he joined Monadelphous and help to redesign their processes and systems during a time that the company revenue grew from $350M to $2.6B.
