KONADA
I’m Naveen Konada, a Supply Chain & Industrial Engineer using SAP, SQL, Python, Excel, and Power BI to improve demand forecasts, optimize inventory, and streamline procurement for manufacturing and operations teams.
SCROLL
I work at the intersection of supply chain and data, using analytics to improve forecasts, reduce stockouts, and keep materials flowing smoothly from suppliers to customers.
I hold a Master of Science in Industrial Engineering and a Bachelor of Technology in Mechanical Engineering. This mix of engineering and analytics gives me a strong foundation in process optimization, demand and inventory planning, and data-driven decision making. Over the last 4+ years I’ve worked across procurement, demand planning, and logistics, using SAP and analytics tools to turn operational data into clear, actionable insights for the business.
