Participate in creating annual supply plan, business continuity planning, optimizing asset utilization, long term capacity/network planning (5 year Plan).Support marketing, OEM channels for new product introduction, bids for new business/new product launch.Projects:Determined optimal number warehouses needed in network, throughput/capacity at each location by taking into consideration… Show more Lead supply chain network design for BP Castrol using I2 Supply Chain Strategist. Participate in creating annual supply plan, business continuity planning, optimizing asset utilization, long term capacity/network planning (5 year Plan).Support marketing, OEM channels for new product introduction, bids for new business/new product launch.Projects:Determined optimal number warehouses needed in network, throughput/capacity at each location by taking into consideration Plants network/capacity, single sourcing for customers, product availability, service restrictions. Quantify safety stock impacts while making networkchanges. Demand is aggregated by three digit zip and supply chain channel, allowing different solutions by channels(plant direct model for retailers, consolidation warehouse location for distributors ordering 200+ skus, transflo locations to optimized bulk distribution network)Simplification of network through consolidation of third parties (reduced from three locations to one) by insourcing of high volume products at the plants. Identified asset gaps at plants, worked with engineering to determine capex required to close gaps. Implemented p-Median model for new warehouse location decision in a single echelon network to improve service levels.Financial evaluation on incremental cost basis for closing of west coast plant and replacing it with DC/Transflo(bulk) locations to support west coast distribution. Optimized distribution network in Mexico and South America.Performed multi-stop and pooling analysis using Infors Transportation Planner to optimize cost by freight consolidation between different business units.Worked on carrier assignment and dedicated fleet solutions.Designed a central warehouse strategy for low volume skus. Cost modelling to determine parcel Vs LTL shipments.Financial analysis (DCF) of capital projects, financial evaluation on make vs buy decision, local production vs imports. Show less

Experience in developing Network Optimization and Production Planning models.

• Analyzed time dependent vehicle routing problem that incorporates Hours of Service regulation enforced by US Department of transportation, time window and vehicle capacity as constraints• Time dependent Dijkstra heuristic was used to obtain shortest path between two nodes.• Simulated annealing was used to find the optimal route (sequence in which customers served) and minimizing the total cost of travel considering above constraints. The Coding of whole algorithm is done in JAVA… Show more • Analyzed time dependent vehicle routing problem that incorporates Hours of Service regulation enforced by US Department of transportation, time window and vehicle capacity as constraints• Time dependent Dijkstra heuristic was used to obtain shortest path between two nodes.• Simulated annealing was used to find the optimal route (sequence in which customers served) and minimizing the total cost of travel considering above constraints. The Coding of whole algorithm is done in JAVA • Application: It will be helpful to all transportation companies in scheduling the vehicle routes taking into consideration the vehicle traffic conditions and driver’s restriction Show less
