What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute to procurement and supply chain operations where I can use ERP systems, supplier analytics, process improvement, and cross-functional collaboration to improve purchasing performance, material availability, and operational efficiency.

I've managed procurement across engineering, manufacturing, and operations environments in India and the UK, using SAP and Oracle ERP to improve purchasing visibility, supplier coordination, and material availability.

At NP Enterprises, I manage procurement for 20+ engineering projects and 50+ suppliers, coordinating RFQs, purchase orders, delivery schedules, and supplier communications. I evaluate quotations and purchasing data to support 5–7% procurement savings while resolving shortages and supplier-performance issues.

Previously at PLK UK Ltd, I managed procurement and inventory for 500+ SKUs, maintaining 97% inventory accuracy through Oracle ERP, reporting, replenishment planning, and supplier delivery coordination.

At Weener Empire Plastics and MAC Racing, I supported multi-plant procurement, ERP implementation testing, automotive component sourcing, Bills of Materials, and supplier negotiations that reduced procurement costs by 18%. I bring analytical thinking, cross-functional collaboration, and a practical focus on keeping operations moving.
