Use second-hand material stats from tracked data to formulate demand forecasts for infrastructure depots and efficiently optimise the utilisation of wagon fleet to distribute the material. Successfully plan the movement of various rail types, direct teams and ensure resources are readily available to guarantee that trains depart safely. Champion the management of the sleeper-handling contract that includes the loading and offloading of sleeper onto and off wagons. Lead the implementation of processes tailored towards efficiently requesting services and processing payments while managing the distribution and demand planning functions. Monitor contract performance, while effectively procuring a new contract for drafting technical specifications, pricing data and evaluation criteria.Projects:• Database Design: Redesigned databases and built a dashboard using MS Excel and Power BI.• Value Chain Development and Re-engineering: Re-engineered processes using best practices within the maintenance industry.• Improvement on Industrial Engineering Programme: Created optimised Industrial Engineering training programmes.• PowerBI Dashboard Development: Used PowerBI to create dashboards tailored towards improving management reporting.Achievements:• Implemented changes to the pricing schedule, which resulted in cost reduction and productivity KPIs improvement. Show less Examined the production levels of machines by conducting calculations in addition to aiding in the execution of efficiency improvement strategies. Collaborated with key stakeholders to create and implement processes that track and distribute scraps to be sold or re-used, as well as alleviate sleeper and rail removal issues. Redesigned the material order process with a central database to facilitate stricter document control. Participated in the implementation of continuous improvement projects inclusive of optimising the occupation planning processes as well as the execution of controls for document submission and productivity measurement. Championed the implementation of controls geared towards ensuring compliance with SOPs, managed the execution of new equipment for the measurement of temperatures, and proposed new luting sub-processes to ensure no containments enter the mould. Liaised with Project Manager in generating project scopes and plans, ensuring projects remain within budget and ensuring project deliverables meet established requirements.Projects:• Improved productivity at an infrastructure depot.• Reduce the weld failure rate at an infrastructure depot.• Conducted formation and drainage rehabilitation.
