Micron Technology, an American multinational corporation based in Boise, Idaho, recently selected a new vice president of global supply chain.

John Waite was announced as the new vice president, and has been placed in charge of all aspects of global supply chain management, which include customer delivery, operational planning, forecasting and inventory management.

"John's track record of successfully managing global supply chain programs will help us advance our global supply chain efforts that have become increasingly complex as the company has grown its operations, product portfolio and focus on market segments," said Micron President Mark Adams. "We are pleased to have John join our team."

Waite brings more than 15 years of executive global supply chain management experience to Micron, previously serving as vice president of the global supply chain and other roles similar at GlobalFounders, Advanced Micro Devices and IBM Microelectronics.

The company recently submitted its restructuring plan to failed Japanese chipmaker Elpida Memory, which Micron recently agreed to purchase.
