At Dr. Reddy's Laboratories, I plan demand and support supply continuity for 250+ API SKUs across the US, Canada and Mexico. I use Kinaxis and SAP MM to manage forecasts, planning data and delivery commitments.

I led a Lean DMAIC OTIF transformation, improving Captive OTIF from 46% to 77.3% and reducing captive backorders from $22Mn to $4.57Mn. I also helped establish governance through predictive risk tracking, order-book hygiene and master-data practices.

I deployed Kinaxis for a 12-month rolling forecast and developed planning dashboards in Advanced Excel. My work also includes supporting S&OP reviews and coordinating demand, production, manufacturing and logistics teams.
