# Radhika K. > Spreadsheets and data wizard | CSSGB| Business Strategy | Operations | Supply Chain and Logistics | Crisis Management | Industrial Engineer | Continuous Improvement Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/radhikak Having a passion for analytics and making data driven decisions has inclined me towards strategic and operations roles. Having worked with consulting firms and startups, I believe I can make a model of anything on Excel or Google Sheets that can transform to other operational programing languages (though I know C and C++). I make a good mentor and teacher, but I also believe in learning at every step of life. That's why I’ve had the opportunity to explore so many industries in less than 8 years of my working career. ## Work Experience ### Supply Chain Program Manager @ Chewy Jan 2022 – Present ● Developed operational alerting systems and monitoring dashboards that reduced yard backlog and trailer aging by 20– 30% during peak season, improving yard throughput and dock utilization across multiple fulfillment centers ● Lead cross-functional initiatives across Supply Chain, and Operations to improve replenishment planning, inventory flow, and fulfillment network performance ● Designed and implemented an AI-driven operational analytics assistant enabling planners to query inventory performance metrics, and reducing manual operational reporting by ~30–40% ● Developed forecasting and supply optimization models to improve inventory health, SKU profitability, and service levels across multi-node supply networks ● Built data pipelines to analyze inventory movement, enabling data-driven operational decisions ● Partnered with engineering and data science teams to translate operational workflows into scalable system architectures, enabling automation of supply planning and exception management processes ### eCommerce Operations Manager @ Vitabox Jan 2021 – Jan 2022 ● Improved operational profitability through data-driven pricing, inventory optimization, and fulfillment process improvements, increasing gross margin by 10% and reducing operational costs by 5% ● Designed a 3D bin-packing optimization prototype improving warehouse packing efficiency and reducing shipping costs ● Built operational dashboards and analytics tracking inventory flow, demand signals, fulfillment throughput, and customer satisfaction metrics ● Led ERP integration initiatives improving warehouse throughput by 35% through automation and workflow optimization ● Developed RCA frameworks and operational process improvements for fulfillment and customer support teams ### Lead Industrial Engineer @ IET, Inc.
