About

20 years. 3 plants. Zero downtime. One mission: turn Head of Supply Chain Management - Integrated Business Planning from cost centers into competitive weapons. I started on a factory floor in Bhubaneswar in 2001, watching raw material delays ripple into production gaps. That lesson never left — today I lead end-to-end supply chain operations across multi-plant FMCG networks, and I still think in terms of root cause, not symptoms Supply Planning What I've delivered: 📦 ₹2.8 Crore in annual savings — through strategic sourcing, freight renegotiation, and Lean Six Sigma waste elimination 🎯 99.7% inventory accuracy — via SAP-driven cycle counting and real-time WMS control Supply Planning ⚙️ Zero production downtime for 5+ years — across 3 manufacturing plants, through proactive MRP planning (SAP MD01/MD02) 🚚 98%+ OTIF — through tight 3PL governance and vendor partnership discipline Supply Planning 👥 375+ team members led — with structured training pipelines and a culture of operational discipline How I think about the role: Supply Chain Manager - Integrated Business Planning isn't a back-office function — it's where strategy meets the floor. I sit at the intersection of sourcing, procurement, finance, and external partners (3PLs, vendors, government bodies), translating boardroom decisions into shop-floor execution and vice versa. Core expertise: SAP MM/PP (MD01/MD02, ME21N, MIGO, MIRO, CO01/CO02), MRP & Production Planning, Procurement & Strategic Sourcing, Inventory & Warehouse Management, FSSAI/HACCP/ISO Compliance, Vendor Management, Lean Six Sigma, Cross-Plant Operations Leadership Currently exploring Head of Supply Chain Management - Integrated Business Planning / Director-level opportunities in FMCG, food manufacturing, and process industries.
