Bernie Warren

An experienced Purchasing /Administrative Office Professional with a "can do" attitude whose passion is to provide impeccable customer service to both my internal and external customers while simultaneously outputting the best product possible - on time - every time!

Process and improvement driven, I continually strive to find time and cost savings in everything. Some of my accomplishments:

• Developed, launched, and managed a quality audit process for field applicators which saved an estimated $20,000 in unnecessary warranty claims.

• Pioneered a document repository that eliminated redundant work and netted a yearly savings of $18,000.

• Negotiated multiple reductions in vendor pricing resulting in a yearly savings exceeding $30,000.

A consummate and discreet office professional with multi-functional experience in purchasing, vendor negotiaton, customer service, office management, inventory control, people management, human resources, and logistics. I am motivated, disciplined, and focused - always striving to exceed expectations.

I bring a genuine customer-oriented perspective with me; to be proactive rather than reactive and to treat co-workers, customers, and vendors the way I would like to be treated - with courtesy and respect; it's my personal credo!

I always go above and beyond the call of duty to get what is needed - when it is needed - then, and only then, do I feel I have done my job completely!
