Forecasting

Overview: The BPS-K600 continuous casting mould breakout prediction system is developed by Wuhan CenterRise M&C Measuring Co., Ltd. It adopts artificial neural network and combines with traditional artificial intelligence and information processing technology to overcome the defects of traditional logic-based prediction models. It has the functions of self-adaptation, self-organization and real-time learning. The breakout prediction system has an optimized industrial network structure. According to the distribution and change rules of the temperature field of the mold, it can track and respond to the breakout process in real time. It can learn and judge by itself, and provide early warning information for on-site operations. It can effectively prevent the occurrence of breakout accidents, greatly reducing the cost and improving the safety factor of continuous casting. The system is suitable for all kinds of continuous casting machines such as square billet, round billet, rectangular billet and slab.

I hold a Distinction in Sales & Marketing Management, from Damelin Management School, and have 10 years Sales Rep experience and at least 2 years Sales Management Experience. Over the years, I have worked in the FMCG Sector, Commercial Tyre Industry, Commercial Forklift tyre & rental industry, and in the Retail sector. I have experience in managing sales teams, and experience in Branch Management. These experiences have given me valuable exposure to administration procedures, basic HR management, disciplining of staff, managing of sales teams, product and service marketing, brand promotion & promotional events at store level, brand quality and freshness, stock control, logistics planning, sales budgeting and forecasting, setting of sales targets for field sales teams, maintaining key customer relations, and more. My sales experience covers internal sales, external sales, direct sales & supply chains. I have travelled the Border Kei & Transkei regions extensively, dealing with both chain stores and individual businesses, large and small. I am willing to travel, and spend nights away from home, should the job at hand require it. My mature mind, enables me to be a very quick study, learning new products with ease. At the end of the day - product knowledge can easily be learned by any youngster, but a selling skill cannot be learned so easily - and I have that vital skill that sets me above and apart from the rest. My personality type, extensive experience and exposure, has made me a very successful Sales Rep. Being old school, I believe in face to face interaction with clients, on a regular basis, building a trust bond between your company, and your customers. This strengthening the relationship and loyalty, which I have found, often gives you preference above your competitors. (Higher orders, more shelf space, etc) These little tricks of the trade are often lost or overlooked in today’s fast paced environment. When the only goal is pushing sales, but neglecting vital customer relationships – the long term effects on your business, may be devastating, and only become when it is too late to rectify. Hire me today - you won't regret it.
