Applied analytics in SAP to implement a strategy for the company to support the operation in next few years.
Carried out the simulated business model to sell muesli where we applied the analytics technique to assess the market, used Lumira to draw heat maps and bar charts to gather information on the regions our products were sold most and the regions we had to focus on and invest in marketing.
Found out the optimal cost for our product that could boost sales and increase market share as well as net margins.

Remodeled the current warehouse layout and optimized it using Material handling tools
Newly Designed warehouse layout led to the space utilization by around 40-50%.
Eliminated the disadvantages of product wise and dock-wise stacking through the introduction of mixed stacking system.
Anheuser Busch-Warehouse Optimization by Mobile Pallet Racking System
Applied Advanced Linear Optimization tools to reduce the overage cost occurred during a medical-kit packaging process.
Use of modular design for packaging led to overage cost, this cost was significantly reduced with the introduction of 5 separate modules.
Decrease in Overage Cost using Modular Design
Car wheel nut removing is a tough job. It needs a high amount of energy and a lot of time. To ease the process a special tool was fabricated using torque reduction technique with the help of epicyclic gear system. The system used two-stage reduction thus was very much useful in practical use. Taking into consideration the small businesses in India which can not afford to use high-end electric nut removers this device would make the job easier as it is manually operated and can be used anywhere.
