Hello! I'm a recent Industrial Engineering grad eager to gain experience—ready to dive into data, solve problems, and contribute to meaningful work.
As an Industrial Engineering Intern at Kocer Consulting + Engineering, I applied my skills in ERP implementations, manufacturing process improvement, and facility master planning to support the transition to a new ERP system. I transferred and organized large volumes of data from the company’s legacy system, supporting the successful implementation and optimization of ERP modules and streamlining operational processes. I also performed time studies and spearheaded the design and optimization of a new facility layout, leading to a recommendation for integrating a scanning system with the existing ERP, projected to reduce customer claims related to missed or incorrect shipments by 80% and save approximately $15,000 annually in shipping costs. Additionally, I conducted equipment research, achieving annual labor savings of over $24k. Prior to this, I developed and implemented a comprehensive testing method for an outdated barcoding software system at Overton Industries, identifying inefficiencies and recommending improvements. I calculated the cost of inefficiencies, estimating a loss of $2,820 due to incorrect shipments, $777.89 due to lag time, and 8 hours of lost productivity annually due to system delays. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Industrial Engineering at Purdue University, where I have gained valuable experience as a Coffee Attendant, providing high-quality coffee and beverage services to employees within our office environment. I am passionate about applying my skills and knowledge to improve operational efficiency and optimize business processes.
