Lars J.T. Droog

Supply Chain & General Affairs
Tosoh

As Manager for Supply Chain & General Affairs, Lars takes end responsibility for Tosoh’s Supply Chain Division and General Affairs Division. The responsibilities for supply chain include Logistics (Warehousing & Distribution), Supply and Demand Control (Forecasting, Inventory Planning, Production Planning, Value Added Logistics and Procurement), Customer Quality Management (Customer Service and QA) and Trade Compliance (Customs & VAT). The General Affairs Division takes care of amongst others legal matters, real estate, travel management and facility management. Over the past half a year, the implementation of an Internal Compliance Programme (ICP) can be considered to be the biggest success. Meanwhile, the biggest challenge over the past 6 months can be considered to be the organizations’ P&L responsibility as it can be a real limitation with respect to an end-to-end supply chain approach.
