About Ashutosh Kumar Singh

As a Category Manager at Philips, I scout, explore and manage suppliers in the injection molding, composite and fibre category for India based supply chain. I have a CQF certification and an executive program in logistics, materials, and supply chain management from S P Jain School of Global Management. I have over 15 years of experience in procurement and SCM in the medical device industry, spanning different products and processes. I have achieved savings, pricing reduction, and value delivery for Philips by resourcing from local suppliers, identifying ODM manufacturers, and proactively managing supply chain risks. I have also handled product certifications and approvals, such as CE and UL, and developed and implemented local sourcing and commodity strategies. I have a strong grasp of process technology, product costing, and costing analysis of various processes, such as injection molding, die casting, machining, thermoforming, PCBA, and medical foam manufacturing. I am skilled in process improvement, supplier identification, bilateral negotiations, data analytics, and business case evaluation. I am passionate about finding innovative solutions for complex challenges and creating value for the organization and the customers.
