• Managed E&O Inventory by reducing scrap cost from USD$359,000 to USD$143,000 by conducting root cause analysis with Contract Manufacturers to eliminate waste and explored opportunities to recover partial value from materials• Spearheaded Value Stream Map to further streamline process to reduce the end-to-end process from 2 months to 1 month by eliminating non-value added tasks• Developed Excel VBA Macro Tools to automate manual process of data filtering and extraction for weekly supplier report to expedite on open purchase orders

• Executed Six Sigma programs on critical processes/equipment working towards continuously improving product yield and absolute material consumption to generate annual cost savings• Managed excess inventory of dairy raw material to be consumed in existing formulations by consuming it as an alternate material to avoid write-off cost of GBP £720,000 attributed to shelf-life expiry after conducting nutritional risk assessments• Collaborated with R&D and Process Engineers for OQ & PQ in managing the introduction of new products using the control process to ensure production pass-over meets needed NPI and Production targets

• Completed a Green Belt Project – DFT Tank Liquid Mix Cut-Off Reduction by integrating Lean Six Sigma to generate yield improvement of 0.14% as well as an improvement in annual gross margin of £75,000• Executed Yield Reconciliation Project to verify unknown losses and sifted for solutions to improve site yield with 1.0% target in 2021 that is equivalent to a gross margin improvement of £230,000• Supported the investigation for product quality problems, determine root cause, gather and analyze data and implement corrective action to reduce or eliminate cause

• Generated annual cost savings of £26,000 by optimizing raw material consumption through the implementation of Lean Six Sigma & CI tools – Pareto Chart Analysis• Integrated daily OEE & Yield data in Power BI visualizations to generate insights on the losses and discuss on improvement strategies to improve process yield and generate higher gross revenue• Led 2020 Xtrim to facilitate brainstorming session with various departments in generating cost savings to achieve the annual target of £2.0MM as a manufacturing plant

Singapore

• Generated statistical process control charts for the nutrients profile in all finished products to analyze and identify any unusual observations or anomaly to facilitate weekly technical discussion • Generated seasonal and moving trends for the nutrients profile in various dairy raw materials to monitor and forecast future batches to be allocated accordingly to avoid product out of specifications

Singapore

• Conducted Competitor Analysis by analyzing business trends from Asia through London within the market to gather insights and develop strategies to strive ahead in addressing the challenges on foresight• Researched on the 2020 Outlook + Strategies for Singapore as a global insurance hub & APAC countries' (South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, China) performance within South-East Asia • Expedited the process to perform data cleaning and extraction for massive datasets by developing Macro Templates in Excel VBA to improve the efficiency of future data collection

Singapore

• Increased the efficiency for operations by generating an improvised interlocking system checklist which significantly reduces the time required for annual routine checks• Accelerated the operational process by performing digitalization on Process Engineering Flow Scheme (PEFS) & Risk Assessment Forms to execute Maintenance activities in the Production Unit• Ensured chemical decontamination process proceeded smoothly & assisted with Operations handover to maintenance during the process of shutting down and starting up a Regenerator system in a refinery plant• Engaged the shift workers on the use of a new interlock tracking checklist which I developed to guide and minimize the time required to track all the interlocks in the future

Singapore
