TEAMWORK

Looking back at the Supply Chain transformation

The Supply Chain Services team.

The Asia Pacific Supply Chain experienced significant transformation this year, including a new Supply Chain Services team joining to support material planning across the region.

The commitment to supporting customers and each other through a prolonged period of adversity, unprecedented supply challenges and substantial change has been inspirational and a testament to how strong our people are. One of the most exciting and incredible displays of teamwork, excellence, integrity, DE&I and caring was the DBU and Aftermarket Integration project, where Kirsty van Oudtshoorn managed development and implementation of the Asia Pacific Supply Chain Services in Pune, India. Kirsty thanked the project team, global and regional stakeholders and the Asia Pacific regional planning team for their ongoing support, guidance and patience as they navigated through the work together. She said the project’s success was a result of the combined efforts of many people, across multiple functions, who temporarily took on additional responsibilities and worked tirelessly towards the goal.

Supply Chain Services team

The new Supply Chain Services (SCS) team has supported material planning processes from the India Office Campus over the last two months. Led by Amod Mhaskar, the SCS team is executing several transactional processes for Asia Pacific and demonstrating a keen eye for continuous improvement and a hunger for excellence. With an individual average of nine years’ supply chain experience, the new team members all hold bachelor’s degrees and many have attained postgraduate qualifications. The SCS team has been segmented by country to ensure business continuity and focus on standardising processes across the region. Team members who supported the process in Asia were Aditi Joshi (Singapore and Malaysia), Payal Metkari (Japan), Pamela Das (Korea) and Ashkay Deore (Philippines). Amit Jadhave, Pratap Pawar, Atul Motghare, Shiddalingesh Sobani and Sourabh Kadam support planning processes for South Pacific. “It has been a pleasure working alongside this team and I look forward to seeing the value they will demonstrate in coming months as they settle into their new roles,” Kirsty said. Congratulations and welcome to the newest members of the planning team.
