Sukyong Hwang, Manager

How do you spend your day?

In the morning, I gather logistics data from our domestic explosive supply chain for cost analysis, which is reported by each center across the country. During my commute, I usually reflect on the issues faced by each center. I also have a habit of checking the weather forecast, as blasting is heavily influenced by weather conditions.

In the afternoon, my focus shifts to optimizing the last-mile delivery routes. While the head of each center allocates trucks based on the plan created by our TMS system, I stay in constant contact with our team members, the centers, and the transportation company to ensure that we're using our resources efficiently and avoiding unnecessary costs. When these tasks are completed, I look for ways to improve our current inbound and outbound logistics processes.

I pay special attention to centers experiencing recent volatility in their freight volumes. When I get home from work, I unwind spending time with my 100-day-old baby.

Could you Introduce your team and your job.

Our team handles the entire logistics process, from warehousing and storage to packaging and delivery, ensuring that customers' orders are efficiently transported from the center. We achieve this through quick responses to variables and flexible planning. My specific role involves managing the last-mile delivery and driving process innovations within our team.

Can you share your growth experience in our company?

Working in the explosive industry has been a significant growth experience for me. The commercial explosives market, which may seem a bit unfamiliar to many, offers a unique opportunity. Here, I am not only learning about explosives but also gaining valuable experience in the logistics sector. I believe this unique experience can be a tremendous asset.

Explain the most fulfilled experience at work.

Creating a Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) system was an immensely fulfilling experience. Setting aside the industry which was new to me, building a logistics network from scratch across the country was quite challenging. However, there have been many rewarding moments along the way. Being part of a team that achieved its goals and contributing to our collective success has been especially meaningful to me.

Why did you choose Hanwha Corporation/Global?

Before joining Hanwha, I was intrigued by the prospect of gaining experience in explosive logistics. Now, the best part of working at Hanwha is the opportunity to work with great colleagues.

What boosts you when you're exhausted by work?

My newborn son's smile has been my greatest source of happiness these days. Sometimes, managing all the centers can feel overwhelming, but the moment I see my son's smile when I get back home, I get the energy to live another day.

What's your personal career goal?

My goal is to be a person acknowled by colleagues.

Can you advise young talnets on what kind of studies or capabilities they should develop to do this job?

Cooperation plays a significant role in our work. Having an open-minded attitude for effective communication and a flexible mindset to adapt to the rapidly changing environment can go a long way.
