Fred Hofmann
Instructor, Facilitator, Mentor, Sundog Training & Development Solutions

My journey in Supply Chain started 35 years ago in Calgary as the purchaser-transportation manger for Earth Science Extraction a Chemical Phosphoric acid plant, then a Logistics Planner for Prudhomme Truck in Regina, Transportation Manager for Bioriginal Food & Science in Saskatoon, Logistics Coordinator for Hitachi Canadian Industries in Saskatoon and Supply Chain Advisor for Norseman Structures in Saskatoon.

It was just after I started at Hitachi in 2005 when Dale Webb the Administrator for the then PMAC was looking for an instructor for the Principles Programs. My supervisor Allan Wiebe mentioned they had hired a new employee `with a unique use of the English language’. The rest has been history.

I entered the education program and received my PMAC Certificate in Purchasing in 2006 and then upgraded to the Diploma in Supply Management in 2012.

Over time, I spent 8 years on the Board of Directors as Membership, Education Director, President, and Past President. I lost count after 1900 of the number of students that I have had in all the classes, seminars and workshops instructed and facilitated.

It has been a great run and truly fortunate to have met and worked with a lot of great people.

I currently identify as a semi retired, cranky old fart; living in Warman just outside of Saskatoon, so I do not have to deal with bike lanes, parking, and traffic. When Tex the Liver and I aren’t keeping busy trying to stay one step ahead of the Corona virus critters; you can find me doing a few corporate guest appearances at various Lunch and Learn engagements or some tutoring and mentoring; with summers reserved for Waskesiu. I also enjoy my time volunteering as an advocate in Saskatchewan for the Organ Donation program.
