Currently, I'm associated with Oceaneering International Services Ltd, where I lead projects in the MP-H SPL sector. My role involves coordinating sales orders, ensuring alignment with customer due dates through meticulous review of CRRs and BOMs, and liaising with buyers to maintain production timelines. I manage the readiness of the machine shop, collaborate with planners for seamless assembly processes, and prioritize resources to resolve assembly conflicts. My responsibility extends to logistics management, quality compliance, customer communication, and strategic inventory management. Additionally, I expedite critical bought-out items, oversee the supply chain, and make pivotal decisions on manufacturing jobs in-house or at vendor facilities. Previously, I honed my skills at Godrej & Boyce Mfg. Co. Ltd, where I handled complex projects for critical customers like the Ministry of Defense, Navy, Army, BrahMos, BARC, NPCIL, Israel Aerospace, RCI, and Thales. I was responsible for creating master schedules, preparing micro plans, and tracking long-duration projects. My role required me to identify risks, monitor project performance, and implement mitigation measures. I served as the single point of contact for customers and internal teams, ensuring timely communication and resolution of issues.
