Directed same-day mishandled baggage recovery for 4 daily widebody flights (B787, A350, A330, 777-300ER) averaging 400–1,000 bags per aircraft, resolving 40–100+ disruption cases per day through end-to-end reprotection, ULD offload sequencing, and onward connection prioritisation — maintaining a zero overnight backlog across all shifts. • Orchestrated cross-border customs compliance for disrupted shipments across US and Canadian customs authorities (CBSA), rerouting non-compliant bags directly to CDG/AMS for US-bound passengers who did not board connecting flights — eliminating regulatory violations on every departure. • Resolved months-old untraceable shipments by manually auditing OHD (On-Hand) files of tagless and misidentified baggage, cross-referencing passenger contents against global WorldTracer network stations — earning station-wide recognition as the go-to specialist for high-difficulty tracing cases. • Coordinated special-handling operations for AVIH (live animals), weapons & ammunition, VIP passengers, APU INOP, and medical emergencies — liaising with GTAA, CBSA, paramedics, police, and airline security to ensure full compliance and priority handling without disrupting turnaround schedules. • Built weekly and monthly Excel dashboards (pivot tables, XLOOKUP, conditional formatting) tracking bags reunited, recovery rates, in-transit volumes, and root causes of late delivery — presenting structured KPI reports to Station Manager to drive data-informed operational decisions. • Managed real-time ULD sequencing and ramp offload prioritisation across 5+ ground handling agents and airline partners, coordinating business class priority, aircraft load balance, cargo separation, and crew bag dispatch — ensuring on-time turnaround on every rotation. • Trained and onboarded new team members on BDO processing, WorldTracer messaging, rush bag handling, AVIH protocols, and customs procedures

Maintained quality control gate for 10–12 anodized aluminium profile sets per shift within an IATF 16949:2016-certified plant by conducting structured multi-angle visual inspections for coating consistency, surface defects, and mechanical damage — enforcing a 15% first-pass rejection threshold to ensure zero nonconforming profiles reached customer dispatch. • Reduced third-cycle recoating to under 5% of total output by accurately classifying borderline coating defects (tint inconsistencies, surface irregularities) against clear non-conformances — preventing unnecessary rework and sustaining throughput efficiency across the 6-member packing team. • Coordinated inbound material flow from chemical anodizing treatment line to packing stations, verifying rack integrity and applying inter-profile paper layering on all outbound orders — protecting product quality in transit for automotive, architectural, EV, and consumer supply chain customers. • Operated across the full 4-stage production cycle — raw profile intake & vertical racking, crane-assisted chemical dipping, surface finishing inspection, and customer-order packing — building

About

I'm a Supply Chain and Operations professional with nearly three years inside the KLM Royal Dutch Airlines operation at Toronto Pearson — one of North America's highest-volume international hubs, processing millions of passengers annually via the Air France-KLM network. Before that: B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering from IIT Mandi (IIT-JEE 2016, top 0.5% of 1.5 million candidates). Postgraduate diplomas in Supply Chain Management and Project Management from Canada. My work at KLM wasn't just operational coordination — it was applied logistics under real pressure. Managing mishandled baggage resolution workflows meant running multi-stakeholder logistics coordination in real time, conducting root cause analysis on recurring irregularities, maintaining compliance with IATA standards, and driving process improvement initiatives in a 24/7 international environment. These are the same competencies that define strong supply chain and operations analyst performance. I'm now targeting Supply Chain Analyst, Operations Analyst, and Logistics Coordinator roles across the Netherlands — and actively building my analytical toolkit: → SQL — for data querying and supply chain reporting → Advanced Excel (pivot tables, Power Query, VLOOKUP) — for operational analysis → Power BI — for KPI dashboards and logistics performance reporting → Supply Chain Analytics portfolio :- https://fearless-knife-13e.notion.site/Supply-Chain-Analytics-Portfolio-Saquib-Raza-34cc3a7b0bfa8002ac03c2bed90f6027 I'm eligible for the Dutch Highly Skilled Migrant (Kennismigrant) visa under the under-30 reduced salary threshold — making sponsorship straightforward and low-friction for Dutch employers. What I bring: — Operational depth from one of the world's top airline alliances — IIT engineering foundation: structured thinking, systems mindset, analytical discipline — Cross-functional communication built in high-stakes, time-critical environments — Elementary Dutch, with active development in progress — Genuine connection to the Netherlands through 3 years in the KLM ecosystem Open to roles in — The Netherlands > Amsterdam, Eindhoven, Rotterdam, Utrecht, and The Hague. — Poland > Warsaw, Krakow, Gdansk, Katowice, Wroclaw — Czech Republic > Prague — Germany and Rest of EU If you're hiring in logistics, supply chain, or operations — or know someone who is — let's connect via LinkedIn or Email - saquibrazanl@gmail.com
