About Kumar Shashank

I am a Supply Chain & Logistics leader with 15+ years of experience driving operational excellence across large automotive and industrial plants. My strength lies in understanding the realities of the shopfloor and turning them into stable, predictable, and cost-efficient supply chain systems. I specialize in streamlining material flow, strengthening vendor performance, optimizing warehouses, and enabling digital visibility across operations.Across Siemens, Mahindra & Mahindra, and Tata Motors, I’ve led the full supply chain cycle—demand and production planning, procurement, inbound logistics, warehouse engineering, in-plant material movement, inventory control, and vendor management. I believe a strong supply chain is built on three pillars: clarity of process, speed of decision-making, and disciplined execution. Everything I do aligns to these principles.I’ve redesigned warehouses with multi-tier and mezzanine layouts, implemented standardized pallets and trolleys, and introduced lean systems such as Kanban, JIT, VSM, kitting, and line balancing to stabilize line feeding and improve production availability. I focus on solving problems permanently, not temporarily—through system design, reliable processes, and digital tools.My work has delivered measurable impact: reducing logistics cost from 4% to 1.8% in one quarter, eliminating a 3PL warehouse to save ₹1.2 Cr annually, converting ₹37 lakh of non-moving inventory into active stock, and improving axle assembly line productivity by 35% through process engineering. I’ve also developed digital dashboards and SAP-driven reporting that improved visibility, accountability, and speed of planning.I enjoy working at the intersection of people, processes, and data. Whether it is aligning cross-functional teams, collaborating with vendors, mentoring young talent, or leading digital transformation initiatives, I focus on building supply chains that are efficient, resilient, and future-ready. My approach blends hands-on operational understanding with analytics-driven decision-making to deliver consistent, sustainable results.I am always open to conversations on supply chain transformation, plant logistics, warehouse optimization, production planning, and digital SCM practices. If your work revolves around operations excellence or future-ready supply chain design, I would be glad to connect.
