About Nicholas Abbott

Lean Sigma Six Green Belt Certified (CSSC) and graduate of the Google Advanced Data Analytics course, in addition to a litany of other supply chain related certifications, I operate as a freelance supply chain analyst to gain experience while I attend college to earn my BSc in Supply Chain Management. I have a rich background in fulfilment, machine operation, and truck driving that gives me an unparalleled boots-on-the-ground insight into supply chains, allowing me to account for unexpected bottlenecks in supply chains and cost drivers that, if left unchecked, could drive up the price of material procurement, overall fuel cost, or total warehousing for an organisation. I specialise in lean, JIT manufacturing given my background at Mondi, where I learned firsthand the importance of 5S, heijunka, and hoshin planning, which expands my versatility in the world of data analytics to be able to fill the role of business analyst as well. While I have my hands full with short term contracts, I’m open to the right long-term opportunity, as I intend to use my experience and growing knowledge of supply chains through data analysis to move up in the world of SCM.
