À propos de Sandheep

I am a Supply Chain & Purchasing Specialist with 8+ years of experience helping businesses streamline procurement, optimize inventory, and improve operational efficiency. My background spans across the automotive, engineering, and manufacturing sectors, working with global leaders like Stellantis, GM, PSA Group, and Saint-Gobain.

I bring a mix of strategic procurement expertise and hands-on operational skills, including:

End-to-end purchasing management (RFI/RFQ/RFP, supplier evaluation, contract negotiation).

Demand planning, forecasting, and inventory optimization to balance cost and availability.

Data-driven decision-making using tools like Power BI, Tableau, Excel (VBA, Macros, Pivot).

Strong command of SAP (Ariba, Business One Cloud) and digital process integration.

Cross-functional collaboration with sales, logistics, and production teams to ensure seamless supply chain operations.

Key highlights of my work:

Improved operational and production efficiency by 40% in 3 months for an automotive client.

Reduced supply chain risk by diversifying suppliers across Europe and Asia.

Built custom dashboards and demand planning tools to support management decisions.

Achieved 30% cost savings through strategic sourcing and logistics optimization.

I am passionate about combining analytical insight with practical execution to help companies achieve measurable results. Whether you need procurement support, process optimization, or data-driven supply chain solutions, I can deliver reliable and scalable results tailored to your business.
