Background

About Ashvin Ravikumar

I'm a results-driven supply chain professional with experience on optimizing material flow, production schedules, and inventory in fast-paced environments. At Fresh Direct - Sysco GB, I manage inbound operations using ERP systems, achieving a 15% reduction in carrying costs and a 99.2% service level across 150+ SKUs, while ensuring 98% on-shelf availability through data-driven forecasting. Previously, as a Production Planning Control & Supply Engineer at Thaai Casting, I scheduled daily production runs, boosting efficiency to 94% and cutting costs by 6% via supplier collaboration. With an MSc in Procurement and Supply Chain Management from Cranfield University and a B.E. in Mechanical Engineering, I bring a blend of analytical rigor and technical expertise to solve complex planning challenges. I thrive under pressure, collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver seamless operations—whether reducing slow-moving stock by 12% or resolving 15+ weekly supply issues. Passionate about driving efficiency in food manufacturing and beyond, I’m eager to leverage my skills in materials planning, procurement, and continuous improvement to support innovative supply chains.
