Academic Projects

Harvard Business Review Supply Chain Case study – Hewlett Packard January 2013 - May 2013

Goal: To analyze reasons for a steep increase in HP’s inventory levels and propose a solution

Methodology: Analyzed data pertaining to HP’s inventory models and product design. Identified reason of bloated inventory to be model

specific components
