END-TO-END MATERIALS & MAINTENANCE FLOW

From operational need to maintenance execution.

  1. Maintenance Need

    Maintenance work creates the material requirement, linked to asset, scope, criticality and required date.

  2. SAP/BOM

    Confirm material master, equipment/BOM link, specification and maintenance demand context.

  3. Inventory

    Check warehouse balance, reservations, open PR/PO supply, Min-Max and availability before buying.

  4. Demand Review

    Challenge demand against stock, incoming supply, transfers and excess risk. Purchase is the last option.

  5. Technical Evaluation

    Assess supplier offers, compatibility, certificates, evidence and clarifications before recommendation.

  6. Procurement

    Convert approved demand into RFQ, PO/CON, supplier follow-up and expediting.

  7. Material Acceptance

    Verify quantity, part number, documents, certificates, condition and specification before acceptance.

  8. Preservation & Storage

    Protect material by criticality, manufacturer guidance, storage conditions and planned-use date.

  9. Material Ready

    Confirm material is available, technically assured, correctly stored and ready for issue.

  10. Maintenance Execution

    Deliver the right material when maintenance needs it and close the supply loop.

01Professional identity

What I bring to the table

I connect field reality, SAP data, technical requirements and supply constraints, then turn them into a decision that can be explained, audited and executed.

I work where maintenance demand, materials, inventory, procurement and operational risk meet. My value is not only in processing material requirements. It is in turning fragmented signals into decisions, workflows and systems that people can trust. My career progressed from CMMS and spare-parts engineering through materials management to superintendent leadership, plant-wide inventory responsibility, preservation governance, procurement support, reporting and digital workflow design.

04Leadership and teamwork

How I lead

Leadership in practice
  1. Evidence before assumption

    Use the available signals before adding demand, cost or risk.

  2. Ownership over activity

    A task is finished when the outcome is clear, not when it moved.

  3. System over symptom

    Recurring problems deserve a rule, a workflow or a governance fix.

  4. Respect with standards

    Firm on quality and responsibility, without losing respect for people.

    Excess Prevention Before Purchase

  • I worked with Sabit Trumov for about two years, and I can confirm that he has solid experience in materials management, procurement, and field operations. He has a deep understanding of KPO facilities, including KPC, Unit 2, Unit 3, and the Eco Center. During our time together, Sabit showed great technical skills in SAP MM modules and master data governance. He played a key role in keeping master data accurate and organized across different departments. His daily work and technical knowledge were essential for maintaining high data quality and smooth field operations. Sabit is very strong in procurement analytics and inventory control. He expertly handled field spare parts management, tracked material in vs. out reports, managed purchase requests, and analyzed total stock status costs on a monthly basis. He also created clear, detailed year-end waterfall charts split by procurement costs, which helped the team better understand financial trends and stock movements. In addition to his technical capabilities, Sabit has excellent communication skills. He speaks freely, clearly, and confidently with senior management, including the Maintenance Manager, Field Manager, and Operations Director. He easily translates complex data into simple, actionable insights for decision-makers. Sabit is a reliable, hardworking, and result-oriented professional who combines practical field experience with strong analytical thinking. I highly recommend him for any senior position in supply chain, material management, or master data governance.

  • I am truly grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Sabit, such an inspiring and supportive leader. He shared a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience, always motivated me to grow, and knew how to bring out the best in each person.

    One example that really stands out is the material consumption forecasting tool Sabit developed. It was designed to forecast material requirements for the next five years and is still being used by the company today. The tool combined historical consumption, the frequency of recent usage, material types, current work orders and planned material consumption, as well as existing procurement requests. He also incorporated additional criteria to make the forecast more accurate and practical.

    The resulting forecast provided a clear quantitative view of future material requirements and became an important basis for building the future budget for a specific contract. To me, this is a great example of how Sabit combined deep expertise, analytical thinking, and a practical business approach to create something with a lasting impact.

    What I appreciated most was his ability to find an individual approach to every person and make everyone feel heard and valued. I’m truly grateful for everything I learned from him and for the opportunity to work under his leadership.
