  GMT Nigeria Limited

  Aug 2017 - Dec 2017

  Operations Development Intern

  Worked on and developed processes to track refunds from terminal demurrages paid in advance. I automated the process of calculating and tracking of these funds via complex spreadsheets with little supervision from my Operations Development Manager.I worked with the Operations Development team to analyze Operations data to enable the development of operational strategies. I created a dynamic system for the monitoring of driver activities, job status, and maintenance status. This system helps track, analyze and report the truck operations, job status and maintenance status to the management team which allows them to make informed decisions without wasting time chasing information.I undertook a project to physically study and map the Lagos Haulage Industry. This project enabled us to discover more than 30 viable assets in Lagos that the company could invest in. We visited about 100 locations across Lagos, Epe, Mowe, Ibafo. Understudying key upcoming locations such as Lekki Free Trade Zone, with several projects such as the Dangote Refinery and Dangote Fertilizer Plant. Show less
