Hello! I'm Pavan
A Mechanical Engineering grad from Pune University, I kicked off my career in automotive manufacturing, working on wiring harnesses, PCBs, and automotive switches. After diving into the supply chain world with a Master's in SCM from University of Texas at Dallas, I now blend my technical roots with supply chain strategy, solving problems and driving efficiency across industries.

PROJECTS
3PL - Integration
Spearheaded two major 3PL warehouse setup projects, enhancing supply chain operations. Led EDI integration with IT for streamlined data exchange and optimized logistics with transportation teams. Played a key role in launching a second 3PL warehouse for a new product line, managing port clearance, pallet configurations, SAP setup, and creating SOPs for efficient handling.
Utilization Report
I spearheaded the automation of a comprehensive warehouse utilization reporting system across a network of 26 residential distribution centers. This system provides detailed insights into warehouse space allocation, breaking down utilization by product type, family, and individual SKU. By delivering real-time data on how much space each SKU occupies in specific warehouses, the report empowers leadership and the deployment team to make data-driven decisions on shipment planning and inventory target optimization, streamlining operations and enhancing overall supply chain efficiency.
High Velocity SKU Dashboard
I developed an advanced High Velocity SKU Dashboard designed to provide real-time visibility into high-volume, fast-moving SKUs across multiple warehouses. The dashboard enables precise ABC segmentation, offering the operations team actionable insights for optimal slotting and putaway strategies. By incorporating seasonality trends, it facilitates dynamic product rearrangement based on demand patterns, ensuring alignment with market fluctuations. Additionally, the dashboard tracks incoming shipments, enhancing labor management and resource allocation, ultimately driving greater operational efficiency and responsiveness to changing inventory needs.
