Profile

I started my career in Transportation at BOSCO (Bonyad Shipping Company) where I learned about LCL/scheduled/Linear, FCL, 3PL and Bulk shipment.

 Having fully obtained the knowledge and experience in programming and transportation workflow, I was assigned to work on optimizing the scheduled shipping route, which was used for our LCL/Liner mode to minimize the costs such as OPEX and maximize the efficiency of loading and unloading the goods in different ports.

It was at Nortel that I experienced working in the warehouse as a warehouse and manufacturing operator which gave me a wider view of Supply Chain Management (SCM) and Inventory Management. This experience helped me in designing a fully functional Transportation Management System (TMS), WMS (Warehouse Management System), POM (Purchase Management System), AMS (US Automated Manifest System) and ACI (Canadian Automated Commercial Information) at Oceanwide.

The purpose of designing the WMS was to cover some of the Freight Forwarders basic requirements, thus, the first version of WMS covered the following functionality:

  • Receive the package/container
  • Put-away the package/container
  • Withdraw the package/container

Upon some customer’s request, the second version was designed to support the following:

  • Receiving the packages
  • Put-away the items in the package and/or the packages
  • Defining the Geography of the warehouse
  • Inventory of the items/commodity and the packages
  • Partially withdraw the commodity/packages
  • Labelling the items
  • Complete withdrawal of the item and/or packages
  • Inventory reports
  • Calculate charges (such as handling, storage and ancillary charges)
  • Create invoices and credit memos/notes
  • Integrate the WMS with TMS application – create a shipment from the withdrawal and create a receipt from the consignment of the shipment
  • Ability to export the charges and invoices into the accounting packages

Designing the TMS, WMS, POM, Fleet Management System and Seal Tracking System required on site visit of customer’s facilities and meeting with them to gather their requirements. 

Project I have worked on

  • Complete operation system tracking using EDI messaging.
  • Route optimization for ocean vessels (LCL) and inland trucking
  • Container Tracking
  • Warehouse Management System (WMS) specified for freight forwarders. The WMS was later on modified to cover our customers’ needs for their distribution business
  • Purchase Order Management (POM)
  • Transportation Management System (TMS) for all the modes of transportation such as Ocean (LCL, FCL and Bulk), Truck (LTL and FTL), Air
  • Fleet Management System for Safety and Compliance department at Wheels
  • Seal Management System, which was used for tracking the loaded trailer at the suppliers, such as Ford and GM
