Het Shah

Supply Chain, Procurement Associate

About

I’m a graduate student pursuing a Master’s in Engineering Management, with hands-on experience supporting supply chain, procurement, and manufacturing operations in a production environment. Through industry experience, I’ve worked closely with production, suppliers, and cross-functional teams to manage and adjust purchase orders, align material availability with manufacturing schedules, and support line fill rate targets across 100+ SKUs. My work includes PO release and rescheduling, inventory and inbound tracking, supplier coordination, and Excel-based reporting to support day-to-day execution and operational decisions. I also have experience analyzing purchasing and material flow data, building dashboards to track KPIs, supporting process improvements, and contributing to procurement analytics and Procure-to-Pay (P2P) process design projects. I’m graduating in April 2026 and am actively seeking full-time opportunities in supply chain, procurement, or manufacturing operations where I can apply my execution-focused experience, continue learning from experienced professionals, and contribute to reliable, efficient operations.
