Industrial Engineer · Early career
About this CDR
Three Career Episodes from a graduate industrial engineer: a final-year project designing the production layout for an agricultural cooperative, a planning internship reducing production losses and reusing waste at a fertilizer plant, and an e-commerce role redesigning warehouse picking, packing and inventory processes with an ERP system. This CDR was assessed and approved by Engineers Australia under the Professional Engineer (PE) competency standard.

Production Layout for an Agricultural Cooperative (Final-Year Project)
Final-year research project to design a new production layout for an agricultural cooperative. Sized the work areas with the Guerchet method, drew the layout options in AutoCAD, planned the work in MS Project and separated external and internal process steps to improve the production flow.
Loss Reduction and Waste Reuse at a Fertilizer Plant
Planning Engineer Intern in a fertilizer production plant. Compared the quantities dosed at the start and end of the process to find a loss of about 4%, used SAP production data to size the yearly impact, proposed ways to reuse collected waste and applied lean tools, job safety analysis and raw material quality checks.
Warehouse Picking and Packing Process Redesign
As E-commerce Manager for an online needlecraft retailer with five warehouses, mapped the picking, packing and storage processes, redesigned the workflows in the ODOO ERP system, documented them in Draw IO and trained warehouse staff to cut package processing time.
