Supported the operational sites material planning and logistics teams in the implementation of standard business processesConducted just in time (JIT) audits and defined operational targets for material and information flow systems, physical layout and labour. Provided improvement work plans for the projects implemented in Thailand and ChinaDesigned and implemented a new supply chain network involving transportation/warehousing cost analysis and business case for the implementation of consolidation operations in China and Thailand. This project involved warehouse facilities upgrade and logistics process implementation on each country, as well as packaging design for consolidated shipments. Show less

Project outcomes were a reduction in warehouse footprint by 45%, and a reduction in material handling labour while supporting increased volumes for the introduction of Holden new programs Show less

Member of the project team responsible for consolidating Plexicor manufacturing operations into Futuris facilities in Melbourne and Adelaide. Oversee material flow layout, material handling equipment, replenishment systems and Distribution Centre integration.Oversaw plant layout design and optimisation to relocate 5 work stations and storage areas from Plexicor plant to Futuris’ Edinburgh Parks facility. Cost savings due to efficiencies gained was $AUD5MN while reducing floor space by… Show more Member of the project team responsible for consolidating Plexicor manufacturing operations into Futuris facilities in Melbourne and Adelaide. Oversee material flow layout, material handling equipment, replenishment systems and Distribution Centre integration.Oversaw plant layout design and optimisation to relocate 5 work stations and storage areas from Plexicor plant to Futuris’ Edinburgh Parks facility. Cost savings due to efficiencies gained was $AUD5MN while reducing floor space by 9,000m2. Designed and introduced lean material handling equipment such as tugger trains and flow racks and reduced the fork lift movements within the plant by 80% while creating a more ergonomic work environment Show less
