Example Achievement Log for a Supply Chain Analyst

A year in the life of a Supply Chain Analyst's log

• Jan - task: Inherited the SKU rationalization project from departing Analyst; 847 active SKUs across three warehouses flagged for review. Pulled historical sales data from NetSuite to baseline velocity.
• Feb - feedback: Ops Director Michelle said in our standup: 'You've already asked better questions than we did last year.' Reference point was how I flagged the seasonal split in Q4 variance.
• Feb - achievement: Identified 112 slow-moving SKUs sitting 18+ months without orders; worked with Procurement to consolidate to three regional hubs. Freed 12K cubic feet of warehouse space, reduced month-end count variance from 8% to 3%.
• Apr - task: Supplier scorecard rebuild: rebuilt metrics in Coupa to track on-time delivery, defect rate, and lead time variance. First cycle showed Vendor 4 at 67% OTD, flagged for contract review.
• May - achievement: Renegotiated terms with Vendor 4 (raw materials) after scorecard data showed pattern. New minimum order quantity dropped 22%, payment terms extended 15 days, locked 18-month pricing.
• May - feedback: Procurement Manager James noted in 1:1: 'That vendor conversation was the first time anyone brought numbers instead of complaints.' He asked me to own the quarterly business reviews going forward.
• Jul - task: Demand planning failed badly for July. Forecast model undershot by 16% on fastener line; stockouts hit three customers mid-month. Root cause: didn't account for engineering change order spike in June.
• Aug - achievement: Built change-order tracking dashboard pulling from Salesforce and Jira; notified me within 24 hours of any approved design changes. August forecast accuracy improved to 6% variance, zero stockouts.
• Oct - task: Logistics planning for Q4 surge. Modeled three warehouse scenarios in Excel for peak season; coordinated with Logistics Manager on temporary staffing and dock gate scheduling.
• Nov - achievement: Q4 peak season executed with planned staffing. Handled 28% volume increase; on-time fulfillment stayed at 94%, cost per unit shipped decreased 4% versus prior year peak through optimized routing.
• Dec - feedback: CFO asked me in the monthly ops review how I'd managed the surge. Said: 'These numbers suggest someone's thinking ahead, not just reacting.' First time Finance asked my input on budget planning.

What makes a strong entry

How this becomes your review in November

This year I stabilized our supply chain across two major problem areas: inventory bloat and vendor reliability. By analyzing 18 months of sales history, I identified and consolidated 112 slow-moving SKUs, which freed 12,000 cubic feet of warehouse space and cut our month-end count variance from 8% to 3%. I then rebuilt our supplier scorecard in Coupa and used that data to renegotiate terms with our largest materials vendor, securing a 22% reduction in minimum order quantity and locking pricing for 18 months. The forecast planning process took a real hit in July when I missed a 16% demand spike, but I built a change-order tracking dashboard that fixed the root cause, and we've held 6% accuracy since. For Q4, I modeled three warehouse scenarios and we handled a 28% volume surge on plan, keeping on-time fulfillment at 94% while cutting cost per unit by 4%.
