Worked to develop a process for the strategic optimization of LTL hub linehaul network which logs ~15M miles per year. Used JDA Transportation Modeler to analyze order data and provide recommendations to right-size the fleet schedule. • Created database to automate the creation of JDA import files from transportation management system export files and other master data.• Identified opportunities to bypass hubs and create multi-stops.• Built custom macro-enabled spreadsheet to take scheduled loads, identify every potential valid weekly trip for those loads based on user-defined routing criteria, and select the combination of trips which maximizes miles for the current driver pool.• Analyzed the network impact of forecasted volume change including seasonal peak and adding or removing large customers. • Pulled TMW manifest data, compared actual path of orders to optimal path suggested by JDA, and identified $700K of potential annual savings by shipping to the correct hub.• Recommendations helped reduce the number of spot buys and cancellations with an annual estimated savings of $600K.

Lead network design and managed transportation projects to quantify the impact of alternative supply chains for customers including transportation, warehousing, inventory, and service levels. Mentor junior engineers on solution development.• Worked with customers to document baseline process maps, validate assumptions, identify pain points, and scope alternatives.• Developed technical presentations that document project methodology, assumptions, and benefits to the customer.• Facilitated solution reviews with business development, IT, operations, finance, and purchasing departments to develop consensus for customer solutions.• Created labor model for managed transportation contracts to determine transaction-level manpower requirements, align assumptions with customers, and simplify pricing.• Added international locations to domestic cost model for pricing of global managed transportation projects.• Presented solution to VW/Audi which led to 3-year $60 million inbound LLP contract.

Provided on-site technical support for software, Warehouse Management for Open Systems and Trading Partner Management, as part of FEMA’s Total Asset Visibility program.• Gathered user requirements, implemented configuration changes, created change requests, and updated functional specs as part of quarterly rollout schedule.• Identified needed test cases and conducted user acceptance testing.• Initiated project to standardize work instruction and test script language to improve user experience and streamline their creation. • Designed custom user-requested reports which were added into production environment.• Worked with end-users on system issues and identified resolutions with re-inforced training, configuration changes, or change requests.• Created interface mapping documents between customer ERP systems and TPM/WMOS.• Led re-design of inbound processes at FEMA’s distribution centers in Fort Worth and Atlanta which streamlined receipt, reduced errors, and improved process compliance.• Supported disaster relief operations at federal operating staging areas in LA, TX, and CA.

Designed and priced solutions for third party logistics provider in support of business development. Provided industrial engineering support at operations across the country.• Performed crossdock analysis for Nissan with an estimated $1.5M annual savings.• Developed strategic inbound routing process which cut lead time from 5 to 2 weeks.

• Led network integration study of 3 Honda plants at an estimated $10M annual savings.• Made work instructions and trained employees at Ford rail mixing center implementation.

• Modeled routing plan for Mitsubishi that saved $400K a year while decreasing inventory.• Formulated parts master spreadsheet to convert vehicle production to supplier volume.

• Analyzed transportation and service impact to Michelin for reduction of 40 DCs to 15.• Worked on routing analysis that helped secure $25M transportation contract with BMW.

• Reduced 40 positions ($1.6M annual) with work measurement study at operation for GM.
