satisfaction.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

I have good knowledge of ERP/MRP system and worked with Syteline and SAP

MRP systems. I worked with all modules of Syteline MRP including GL, AP and

AR. I have created work centers, Scheduled jobs, Job order releases and

closings. As an MIS, I wrote daily, monthly and yearly reports for the

management.

I have supervisory experience in production control, assembly lines and

general stores functions for five years in Robohand Inc.

In Honeywell, I Completed a project called REACH within 18 months. The job

involved in collecting chemical properties of all preparations, substances

supplied by vendors and used by Honeywell and preparing a report of usages

of all chemicals with CAS numbers, EINECS etc. for each.

I study existing nature of operations in a company and suggest changes to

increase productivity and reduce cost. As an example, I persuaded the

management of Robohand (De Staco) to change over from push type to pull

type of manufacturing. I introduced KanBan system of manufacturing at the

finished product and component stages resulting in vastly improved

inventory turns.

I was a member of the ISO implementation team and was instrumental in

achieving ISO certification within sixteen months. I maintained all ISO

documentation. Developed vendor evaluation criteria for new and existing

suppliers and monitored vendor performance on a weekly basis.

As opposed to year end wall to wall inventory counting, I introduced weekly

cycle count in a company after categorizing all components in A B and C

items. This resulted in cost saving and more accurate inventory. I helped

introduce vendor managed inventory for consumable and hardware items.

I have substantial experience in working with China and India with

conference calls and online meetings. The work included scheduling,

monitoring status, and new product development.

I consider listening as the most important aspect in dealing with problems

or implementing projects. I am always on the lookout for improvements in

process and material movement and prefer to implement procedures in baby

steps. I can also take difficult decisions. Lastly I enjoy working.
