Featured Projects

SKU & Shipping Adherence Tracking Dashboard

Problem:

Frequent shipments with incorrect SKUs (style, size, color) caused significant costs due to repackaging, returns, and unplanned material purchases.

Solution:

I designed and implemented a real-time digital dashboard that monitored traceability from work order creation to final shipping, integrating controls across the supply chain.

Results:

  • Avoided repackaging and return costs, saving approximately $185,000 in 2024.
  • Significantly reduced errors in the supply chain before shipment.
  • Improved operational efficiency, traceability, and inventory control, enhancing the plant’s reliability in international operations.

Inventory Optimization & Predictive Material Management

Problem:

Excess and obsolete materials in warehouses generated unnecessary storage costs and disrupted production continuity.

Solution:

Developed automated demand forecasting system with integrated supplier management and just-in-time inventory optimization.

Results:

  • Reduced unnecessary purchases and enabled the reuse of out-of-season materials.
  • Lowered inventory by over three million items in 2023, avoiding additional costs.
  • Minimized production interruptions, achieving more stable and efficient operations.

Logistics Optimization & Delivery Time Reduction via Excel Data Analysis

Problem:

Delivery times were inefficient due to shipments dispatched separately from multiple warehouses, causing delays, duplicated efforts, and higher transportation costs.

Solution:

I led a data-driven analysis using advanced Excel and macros to identify critical routes and bottlenecks, redesigning delivery schedules and consolidating shipments.

Results:

  • Reduced delivery times by approximately 30%, improving coordination between warehouses.
  • Increased team productivity and reduced operational costs.
  • Enhanced on-time delivery reliability, with results validated through recommendation letters emphasizing replicable, measurable impact.
