At Capgrid Solutions, I took charge of developing SCM and Warehouse strategies to enhance operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Additionally, I prioritized team building and streamlined material planning processes. This included comprehensive SCM planning with MRP and scheduling, strict inventory controls using ABC classifications and FIFO/LIFO/FEFO methods, and monitoring Inventory Turnover Ratio (ITR) through regular audits. I strategically procured sheet metal, forging, casting, plastic, rubber, and specialized RM like stainless steel (SS), CRC, and HROP coils, aligning with supplier agreements and NDAs. I also established a structured review framework linking team KRAs with project goals, and developed MIS reports for data-driven decision-making.Managing Capex and Opex approvals based on ROI calculations, I optimized resource use and productivity. Negotiating contracts achieved cost savings and improved procurement efficiency, while implementing strategies fostered continuous operational improvement and innovation.
