With a team of seven other Georgia Tech industrial engineers, I helped provide Starbucks with a redesign of one of their regional distribution centers. The redesign included a capacity estimation model built using regression, a product-slotting optimization algorithm, and a new warehouse worker travel path. Overall, the resulting projected cost savings was over $500k.

As a Global Supply Chain Management intern, I created and executed the process for evaluating suppliers with global contracts across the World Vision Partnership. In addition, I helped craft improved communication channels with different national offices regarding global contracts, and I improved data management through evaluating and analyzing reports from World Vision’s e-procurement system.

With a team of three other Georgia Tech business and engineering students, I helped come up with solutions to improve compliance rates for reactive and planned maintenance on Healthineers’s machines through coordination with Siemens, conducting interviews, running data analysis, and building a business case. I also created two Arena simulation models to help predict compliance rates for full-time staff and contract workers. Overall, the resulting projected cost savings was over $2 million.

During my internship at Georgia-Pacific, I conducted a system analysis of 13 different Georgia-Pacific paper mills in the areas of yard management, warehouse management, finite scheduling, and material requirements planning. Through this process, I led interviews and group meetings to understand the current condition of the mills’ systems and create constructive discussion on standardization, and I collaborated with my team to ensure a holistic understanding of Georgia-Pacific’s systems and supply chain. The end result of my internship was a final database of analyzed information that I created, which will be used by manufacturing and system improvement teams to create a collective improvement strategy when upgrading the mills’ systems to a new software platform.
