• Collaborated closely with cross-functional teams to define actionable and efficient custom KPIs aligned with each department's target to assess their progression. Generated complex DAX codes leading to valuable power BI dashboards to enhance teams' decision-making.• Implemented an automated solution to solve the company's recurrent issue resulting from manual data entry errors by warehouse and logistics employees. Linking a barcode scanner device to the data server significantly reduced errors, saved over 30 work hours weekly, and improved data accuracy.• Increased the company’s annual profit by 3% by developing an innovative program to achieve an optimised daily production plan through elevating workforce and line balancing. I achieved that by using analytical simulating and solving a multi-objective mathematical model considering various terms and conditions including labour force, machines, customers’ orders, cost of storing products and raw materials.• Significantly boosted part product quantity by +500 parts/day by identifying key production bottlenecks in team meetings and brainstorming sessions, line balancing, and tackling problems using business intelligence solutions after collecting and analysing data from the production process.• Extracted 30+ unstructured data sheets from various resources, cleaned and transformed them, and ultimately loaded them into a single well-structured table by building ETL pipelines with Power Automate and Python programming. This saved time to a great extent by eliminating the manual input table.• Communicated weekly with sales teams to comprehensively understand the end clients' feedback. I custom-created actionable reports to assess and monitor sales promotions and campaigns’ efficiency.• Designed and delivered training sessions tailored for non-technical logistic employees to enable them to comprehend and efficiently utilise dashboards.

• Safeguarded the company from a potentially significant loss by providing data and information that assisted leadership in understanding the significant risk of proceeding with the supply contract under current conditions. I gathered data, created a report in Power BI, and proved with reasons and evidence to the executive team that the selling price was undervalued. As a result, the company avoided a loss equivalent to 15% of its annual profit by raising the price of the new agreement.• Designed and implemented a wide range of KPIs using DAX calculations to measure the performance of different departments like sales, production, quality control, procurement, and maintenance.• Created data models, that facilitated data visualisation to enhance decision-making processes.• Produced visually compelling dashboards and reports for executive and shareholder consumption.• Conducted thorough Feasibility Studies to evaluate launching new production lines. I gathered data from diverse sources and employed risk analytics and sensitivity analysis to ensure whether initiating a new line or outsourcing was economical. It led to the establishment of two new production lines out of six.
