Overview of Role

My role required shadowing both the planner and engineer responisibilites. Completing the data analysis of the warehouse performance for the alst 24 hours as well as analysing engineer shifts performances depending on certain KPI's. My role required me to get involved in engineering projects where I gain valuable experience working among senior engineers.
