Please join us for the IAEM student chapter presentation with Steven Schenkel at 8:30 p.m. (Eastern Time) on, Thursday, December 1, 2011 via Adobe Connect. Steven Schenkel, CPIM, is a Supply Chain professional who specializes in Production and Inventory Management. He brings 15 years of experience in the retail and hospitality industries in operations, production planning, and logistics for both domestic and international markets. Currently, Steven is a Global Supply Planner at Levi Strauss and Co. headquarters in San Francisco, where he is also on the Emergency Response Team. He calculates production flow for worldwide sales demand and regularly works with factories in China, India, Mexico, and Turkey.
He holds a Certification in Production and Inventory Management (CPIM) from APICS, the Association for Operations Management. Previously, Steven has worked for Cost Plus World Market, Williams-Sonoma, DFS, and Club Med Resorts.
In 1998, Steven joined the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as on-call Disaster Assistance Employee. He was attached to the National Logistics Cadre and underwent training at the Mount Weather Emergency Operations Center in Virginia. He served until 2001. In 2009, Steven rejoined FEMA as a DAE assigned to the Logistics Cadre of Region IX in Oakland, CA.
When Hurricane Irene hit the Eastern Seaboard in August 2011, Steven was deployed to New Jersey to assist with recovery efforts. He took a military leave from Levi’s and spent the month of September in Neptune, NJ as the Receiving and Distribution Manager overseeing supplies for state-wide relief efforts.
Steven used his private sector knowledge to “aggressively address the shipping/receiving process” and implemented protocols to adapt to FEMA methods, which were “directly related to the successes attained in this disaster response,” according to his Deputy Logistics Section Chief.
A Cleveland native, Steven received a BS in Speech Communication from Syracuse University in New York. He currently lives with his girlfriend in San Francisco, but remains a long-suffering and loyal Cleveland Indians fan.
