Atharva Deshpande Email and Phone Number
I am a highly motivated and lean thinking professional with a strong 2.5 years background in Industrial Engineering and a passion for optimizing Supply Chains and Industry Operations. With a Master's degree in Industrial Engineering from Texas A&M University, I have developed a solid foundation in both technical and analytical skills.Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience in automotive and manufacturing roles. At TESLA, Inc., I managed the polymer supply chain for a new program, leading to significant cost reduction. I optimized the Berlin polymer supply chain, achieving global strategic sourcing and cost savings. I played a pivotal role in demand planning for Tesla's capex resin, contributing to cost avoidance. Demonstrating leadership, I implemented an injection molding material change, resulting in considerable cost savings. I owned the bidding process for steel scrap sales, generating revenue. Furthermore, I automated the "All Metal-Resin" Index Tracker for price adjustments across the organization.As a Supply Chain Optimization Intern at TESLA, I managed a significant metal coil warehousing project, comparing proposals and conducting ROI analysis. I developed a Plastics Make Vs Buy model, analyzed supplier localization, and sourced a custom 'Coil Racking & ASRS' system, boosting efficiency by 40%. As an Associate Project Purchase Engineer at BOSCH, I oversaw supply chain shift from China to India, developing global suppliers, mitigating shortage through alternative steel sourcing. I implemented Supplier Performance Management for enhanced performance and value delivery.As an Operations and Lean Engineer at M/s R V C, I collaborated with suppliers to develop production agreements, sourced projects, and reduced labor by 75% during NPI. I generated purchasing SOPs, reducing onboarding time by 50% and onboarded two suppliers. I also led a team in managing the commodity supply chain for the SAE & ESI BAJA competition, where we developed a steering subsystem and cost events for an ATV Buggy.I am passionate about finding innovative solutions to complex supply chain challenges and driving operational excellence. I am seeking opportunities to apply my expertise and make a significant impact in optimizing supply chains for organizations. If you are looking for a results-driven professional with a strong background in industrial engineering and a track record of success in supply chain optimization, I would welcome the opportunity to connect and discuss potential collaborations.
