About Anurag Gaurav

I firmly believe that hard work and proper attitude can help you stretch beyond your capability and make you achieve impossible things in most people\'s eyes. I pursued an MBA at the prestigious IIM Mumbai (formerly NITIE), which is also known in India as the \"Mecca of Supply Chain and Operations Management.\"I am currently working in TATA Electronics for last 3 years in Supply Chain and Operations team with an overall experience of 6 years working in diverse ecosystems across manufacturing, aviation, and EMS sector. My work experience has been in end to end Supply chain management including demand planning, capacity planning and global strategic sourcing. I have worked with multiple suppliers across the globe predominantly in USA and China in addition to Indian MNCs leading crucial commercial negotiations for CAPEX related procurement as high as worth 10-15 Mn USD following an analytical approach of should costing. I have an exposure of working in strategic sourcing to develop an efficient supply chain by reducing cost of procurement, maintaining an OTIF per excellence and ensuring supplier’s financial health by on time payments.On the supply chain planning side, I have experience modeling and deploying statistical forecasting in the crucial CNC section of Tata Electronics plant which is subject to high variability in demand due to fluctuating yield in upstream and supplier demand.I have been associated with capacity planning in the Iphone manufacturing division of the Tata Electronics plant where optimizing IDL and machines is challenging due to the short product cycle
