GPA (percentage): 65%

GPA (percentage): 65%

In my Masters in Operations & Logistics Management at the University of Surrey, UK. I was exposed to a new opportunity that I enjoyed exploring. Studying with student from around the world enabled me to interact and communicate with people that were different in their thought process as well as working styles. The degree itself was of my great interest and being exposed to different approaches and softwares to complete the task enabled me to out grow the fear of known territory. At the university I had the work on SAP ERP where we did cases and made ourselves familiar with the interface. The masters familiarised us with ERP SAP ECC 6.0, Microsoft project & Microsoft Office suite. I have thorough knowledge of master data creation and maintenance of all the business processes ranging from Logistics, FI, HCM, BI/BW, Inventory Management, and Project Systems to Controlling at the end user level.
