Data Analyst

As a key contributor in the Vendor Ops department, my primary responsibility centered around automating the weekly targets for two critical Key Performance Indicators (KPIs): Incident Rate (IR) and Vendor Satisfaction (VSAT).

My proactive approach allowed me to systematically identify any potential loopholes within the KPIs, empowering my team to implement strategic improvements effectively. Once the data was processed and refined, I transformed it into a visually appealing and easily comprehensible format. Leveraging tools such as Google Data Studios and MS Power BI, I created dynamic dashboards that provided my team with real-time insights into the KPIs, facilitating ongoing tracking and enabling predictive analysis. Through my efforts, I not only automated processes but also enhanced the decision-making capabilities of the team, fostering a more efficient and informed operational environment.
