About Kedar Chavan
Supply Chain & Operations Engineer | Data-Driven Decision Maker | Lean & Six Sigma Certified With a Master’s in Industrial & Systems Engineering (Supply Chain & Logistics Specialization) from San Jose State University, I have a proven track record of optimizing procurement, logistics, and manufacturing processes across industries including battery technology, food processing, and industrial manufacturing. At MarsCharge, I spearheaded supplier analysis and RFQ management, optimizing procurement strategies for LFP battery production and 135 kWh chargers. My ability to analyze supplier capabilities, lead times, and risk mitigation resulted in a streamlined sourcing strategy, ensuring cost savings and operational efficiency. Previously, at Kamadh Industries, I improved manufacturing throughput by 30% and reduced costs by 20% using cycle time modeling and MRP systems. My expertise in Lean Six Sigma, demand forecasting, and inventory optimization allowed me to drive process efficiency and improve supplier collaboration. At Jain Farm Fresh Foods, I leveraged MRP analytics and KPI tracking to cut inventory costs by 5-10% and enhance production planning accuracy. I am skilled in Python, SQL, Power BI, Tableau, Simio, ProModel, and Minitab, applying data analytics to solve complex supply chain and operational challenges. My passion for continuous improvement, logistics optimization, and strategic sourcing drives me to seek innovative solutions that boost efficiency, profitability, and sustainability. Beyond technical expertise, I bring strong leadership, cross-functional collaboration, and problem-solving skills, honed through my experience managing supplier negotiations, process improvements, and operational bottlenecks. Let’s connect and discuss how data-driven supply chain strategies can drive measurable impact!
