I started as a Management Trainee at their production facility at Baddi, Himachal Pradesh and over a period of time, was given the responsibility for identifying key/critical processes and their subsequent re-engineering to ensure improved Operational Efficiency & Cost Reduction. I supported the Plant Head and the VP (Operations) in coordinating between various functions - Purchase, Finance, Stores and Production Planning, to ensure effective control and operations, including productivity across the unit. During this period I also handled assignments as Project Lead for setting up new production facilities - responsibility for planning, executing and meeting specified quality, cost and timeline project deliverables. I successfully executed projects to set up assembly units for Inverters, Mobile Phones and Mobile Accessories in different parts of Himachal Pradesh, and an IT automation project for Barcode implementation in the existing production facilities.
