planning systems and manufacturing execution.
• Participates in the S&OP process, translating aggregated production plans into detailed Master Production
Schedules (MPS), material requirements, and capacity plans across build phases.
• Developed 7 QMS department procedures covering production control, material management, and change
management, establishing the operational framework and role definitions for the Planning & Control function.
• Built and structured the Planning & Control team from inception, including authoring job descriptions, conducting
interviews, and making hiring decisions for a 5-specialist function.
• Supports material readiness and supply alignment in coordination with procurement and supplier management
teams, interfacing with 100+ suppliers across 25+ countries.
• Collaborates with senior leadership on capacity planning, material readiness strategy, and long-term operational
scalability in support of CEERs production ramp-up plan.

• Delivered SAR 20M+ in inventory cost savings in Phase 1 through the centralization and standardization of inventory
management systems across 22 SABIC affiliates, standardizing processes and controls across the affiliate network.
• Led a cross-functional project to unify inventory systems and improve material visibility across 22 affiliates, reducing
procurement redundancies and enabling coordinated cost savings at scale.
• Implemented centralized inventory control and forecasting protocols, reducing excess stock and improving real-time
visibility to support strategic decision-making across the affiliate network.
• Collaborated with supply chain, procurement, and operations teams to leverage economies of scale in procurement,
driving cost efficiency and transparency across affiliates.

• Reduced inventory stock-outs by 20% through the development of data-driven KPI frameworks and improved
demand forecasting models.
• Improved supplier on-time delivery by 15% through the design and implementation of a supplier performance
scorecard system.
• Reduced material costs by 12% through lean-based cost-saving initiatives and systematic process optimization.
• Developed material plans to support continuous production operations, optimizing inventory levels and aligning
resources with demand requirements.
• Established supply disruption contingency plans, coordinating alternative suppliers to maintain uninterrupted material
flow.
• Integrated planning data across ERP and SAP systems, improving data accuracy and cross-departmental planning
visibility.

• Utilized SAP to manage resource planning and operational scheduling, developing foundational expertise in ERP
driven planning processes within a large-scale industrial environment.
• Led dormant inventory recovery and spare parts availability initiatives, reducing material costs and gaining early
hands-on experience in inventory optimization and supply chain efficiency.
• Conducted failure analyses and quality audits, implementing corrective measures to enhance equipment reliability
and ensure continuity of plant operations, building a foundation in operational risk management and supply
assurance.
• Compiled detailed scopes of work and technical reports utilizing SAP, supporting data-driven decision-making and
cross-functional coordination across planning and supply chain functions.

• Contributed to the development of a wireless temperature monitoring system for rotor generators as part of a
multidisciplinary engineering team at Honeywell Aerospace, conducting thermal, electromagnetic, and structural
analyses in support of advanced aerospace product development.
