Logistics and Supply Chain CV writing

A logistics CV should include the volumes you handled, the size of the network, the service metrics you owned and the systems you used every day. Add the modes of transport and regions you covered, because employers screen for a network that resembles their own. Cost results, such as lower freight spend or reduced stock holding, turn a list of duties into evidence of impact.

Use the metrics you were actually measured on in performance reviews. Common ones are OTIF, fill rate, forecast accuracy, inventory turns, days of stock, order accuracy and cost per unit shipped. Give a baseline and a result where you can, and say what you changed to move the number. A metric without your action behind it reads as a team statistic rather than your contribution.

Lead with the planning-adjacent work you already do: replenishment decisions, labour planning against forecast volumes, stock accuracy analysis and any S&OP meetings you have contributed to. Name the data and systems you used. Then keep the operational scale visible, because planners who understand the physical constraints of a warehouse are valued, and that experience is an advantage rather than something to hide.

Yes, and be specific. Name the system and the modules or processes you ran, such as SAP MM for purchasing or a WMS for pick and put-away. Recruiters often filter on system names, so the keyword matters, but hiring managers want to know your depth. A single line saying 'SAP' with no context gets you through the filter and then tells the reader very little.
