As a Senior Planning Engineer, I lead cross-functional teams to optimize workflows, enhance productivity, and achieve operational targets. Leveraging SAP S/4HANA and SAP ECC6 (PP, MM modules), I streamline resource planning, capacity optimization, and inventory management to ensure seamless operations. My role involves coordinating production schedules, material planning, and ensuring timely fulfillment of customer demands. Additionally, I oversee compliance with international standards like ISO 9001 and FSSC by managing audits, implementing corrective actions, and fostering continuous improvement. I develop and execute risk mitigation strategies, mentor team members to enhance their capabilities, and promote effective collaboration across departments to drive organizational success.

As a Planning Engineer-II, I was responsible for resource forecasting, replenishment planning, and aligning inventory levels with production requirements using FIFO/FEFO techniques. I conducted annual budgeting and optimized production schedules to balance capacity with sales demands, achieving higher machine utilization and reduced waste. My role included leading product trials and ensuring the successful launch of new products while addressing stock aging challenges through effective inventory management. I coordinated with vendors to secure timely material availability, ensuring uninterrupted production. These efforts resulted in enhanced efficiency and alignment between production and market demands.

As a Management Trainee Engineer, I supported supervisors by executing key projects and providing actionable recommendations to improve operational strategies. I gained comprehensive experience across various departments, building strong professional relationships and fostering cross-functional collaboration. My responsibilities included preparing and presenting detailed reports on process evaluations, offering insights to stakeholders for data-driven decisions. I actively participated in health and safety workshops, adhered to company protocols, and contributed to performance evaluations. Additionally, I conducted research and provided innovative solutions to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and support overall organizational growth.

During my MS in Mechanical Engineering, I focused on advanced industrial and mechanical systems, equipping myself with the knowledge to tackle complex engineering challenges. My coursework emphasized innovative solutions for industrial applications, supported by practical research and technical expertise. I also collaborated on impactful projects, enhancing my analytical and problem-solving skills while laying a solid foundation for contributing to cutting-edge engineering initiatives.

My BS in Mechanical Engineering provided a strong foundation in core engineering principles, including design, manufacturing, and thermodynamics. I worked on key projects such as the design and fabrication of a wear testing machine, gaining hands-on experience in mechanical systems and material analysis. Additionally, I actively participated in high-profile competitions like the Formula Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) Human Powered Vehicle Challenge and the Eco-Shell Marathon, further honing my technical skills and fostering a spirit of innovation and teamwork.
