the display of the logistic structure, the productivity and the temporal and qualitative performance.
� Designed a KPI-System to measure the logistical performance with due regard to the internal interdependencies and those between the company and the
trading and service partners. The KPI-System enabled the user to evaluate the logistical performance of each operational area and identified the weak spots

� Analysed in-country test reports (driving tests in different countries within Asia, Africa, Russia to analyse the car's behaviour under different weather and
climatic conditions) of different Opel models to show whether major problems during driving occur within the first 10,000km or later. Clustered the different
technical problems to develop a grading system for interpreting test results.
� The usage of the grading system made interpretation of data possible. Test routes less than 10,000km being too short to give detailed information about
possible problems that might occur (e.g. engine breakdown, deterioration of brakes, etc.). Presented results graphically within the team and therewith
supported general assumption of the division.
� Results were of great importance to general management because their idea of reducing the length of test routes could be avoided. Shorter routes hiding
major car problems and creating the highest repair costs for Opel.

customer service.
� Reduced turnaround time of the vehicles by seven hours by introducing trip incentives to the driver. Overcame the drivers' resistance to the new way of
working by explaining the benefits to them and the company. Negotiations were initially difficult because the drivers were satisfied with what they were
earning. Convincing them became easier once they started to understand the rationale, i.e the new system meant vehicles would be utilised to their full
potential, thus saving the company money.

Corporation Ltd and ITC (Indian Tobacco Company). Researched the market and identified there was more demand for LPG throughout the year and it
was therefore a good decision to start transporting LPG. The government then introduced a policy which resulted in every household in India getting a free
LPG connection, increasing more scope for expansion.
� Achieved a 452% net profit increase against the previous year in the financial year 2009 - 2010 by writing off the loans and debtors during the year.
� Developed fleet management software which helped the company reduce truck repair, maintenance and tyre costs. The software was designed to bring the
costs down by regularly updating when it was time for the scheduled service for the vehicle, helping save money on avoidable expenses.
� Reduced interest payments and overdraft charges by ensuring instalments against credit were paid prior to the due date.
