Maintained close communication with suppliers throughout the process. o Managed post-launch procurement replenishment plans for newly introduced products to ensure stable and sufficient long-term inventory, overseeing at least 6 new supplier's replenishment orders and ensuring a smooth transition for at least 10 new product lines from market launch to regular replenishment since 2023. o Participated in confirming and launching specifications and performance for over 200 new SKUs since 2023. Communicated extensively with internal team and external suppliers to create precise production plans, resulting in cumulative initial orders exceeding $5 million USD (36 million RMB) in 2023 so far. o Successfully negotiated and signed more than two Service Level Agreements (SLAs) related to long-term material preparation with at least 2 suppliers since 2023, aiming to shorten production cycles and ensure a steady supply of raw materials, enhancing support for the Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) process. o Authored and maintained over 4 Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) documents related to supply planning since 2023 to support departmental operations and optimization. o Responsible for initial order procurement and subsequent replenishment planning for the company's highest-priority customer channels, Convenience Stores and Gas Stations (C&G), in 2023. o In 2022, strategically managed 26 external brand suppliers using demand forecasting and inventory management techniques. Accumulated purchase orders exceeding $18 million USD (128 million RMB), resulting in a 120% year-on-year increase in sales compared to the previous year. o Training and supervising new supply planners to ensure that they comprehend and fulfill job duties.

Using Cross-correlation functions (CCF) to explore the correlation between temperatures of ambient air and biomass; 2. Performing Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) model to pre-whiten time series to guarantee data stationarity; 3. Achieving time-lag analysis to explore the correlation between ambient air temperature and biomass temperature
