My work included end-to-end factory transformation, procurement, material flow design, and collaboration with infrastructure and IT teams for seamless integration. At Honeywell Technology Solutions, I contributed to supplier management excellence by designing and implementing a Supplier Recognition & Assessment System, reinforcing my expertise in supply chain analytics, supplier collaboration, and performance management.
