Graduation Project: Enhancing Procurement and Vendor Management.

• Implemented a structured Vendor Qualification System that reduced time to onboard by 20% and improved vendor pool quality by 15%.
• Designed a Vendor Performance Scorecard for continuous monitoring of quality, compliance, and reliability, leading to a 10% decrease in the overall supplier non-conformance rate.
• Developed a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for inward quality control that reduced material rejection rates by 5% within the first quarter.
• Optimized the vendor selection and auditing process, minimizing supply chain disruptions by 8%, and achieving 100% compliance adherence on critical safety and quality metrics.

Apparel Internship Project: Corrective Action Plan and Root Cause Analysis of Defects Found in the
Cutting Department

• Spearheaded a Corrective Action Plan (CAP) and Root Cause Analysis (RCA) initiative focused on fabric cutting defects, leading to an 18% reduction in raw material wastage within the department.
• Introduced and led targeted training programs for 35 cutting personnel, specifically addressing identified root causes, which resulted in a 25% decrease in defects related to marking and spreading errors.
• Implemented a system to track improvements in fabric cutting accuracy and efficiency, boosting average cutting yield by 5%, and contributing to a projected $5,000 in annual material savings.

• Developed a cross-functional understanding of the knitting supply chain, from yarn sourcing to finished goods, enabling effective bottleneck analysis between the knitting production and dyeing and finishing departments.
• Identified critical control points (CCPs) in the knitting process—specifically, stitch length and tension—to maintain grey fabric GSM consistency within the tight industry tolerance of ±2%, minimizing rework in post-knitting processes.
