ABOUT RUTVIK DUDAKIYA
Experienced Procurement & Strategic Sourcing Engineer with 6+ years in heavy-industry procurement at ArcelorMittal Nippon Steel India. I specialize in cost optimization, vendor development, SAP S/4HANA procurement, tender management, and commercial negotiation. I combine structured sourcing methods, data-driven analysis, and strong supplier relationships to drive value across operations.Over my career, I have led initiatives that delivered ₹4.3 Cr+ in cost savings through strategic sourcing and negotiation. For example, I negotiated long-term Annual Rate Contracts (ARCs) for critical maintenance supplies and implemented an automated approval workflow (NFA) to digitize procurement decisions. I also played a key role in rolling out SAP S/4HANA in my plant. Each of these projects improved efficiency and reduced costs.Driven by continuous improvement, I leverage my Green Belt in Six Sigma to streamline processes and mentor cross-functional teams. My approach ensures that procurement not only supports operations (like Cold Strip Mill, Hot Strip Mill and Automation projects) but also proactively contributes to the company’s bottom line. I’m always looking for ways to apply innovation (such as AI-driven analytics) in the procurement process to enhance performance.
