These preferences were defined based on some complex business rules and were used in Product design process to make the final purchase.
My role in this project was to do the solution architecture for preference score generation tool, architect the integration framework of i2 product with 8 different external systems and lead a team of 4 in implementing the same integration.
Strategic Sourcing Projects - Honda of America, USA (2002-2003) This project was to build a consolidated MRO catalog for North American operation of Honda which helped Honda to realize savings by supplier consolidation, elimination of parts duplication and strategic management of contracts. Savvion system was used to develop workflows engine and HONDA realized at least 40% of reduction in its operation costs.My role in this project was to architect for JMS based integration framework for integration SRM with external systems (Ariba and PeopleSoft).
GES Singapore (January 2004 till May 2004) -This project aimed at providing a centralized catalog across three GES plants and hence enabling them in finding strategic alliances with Suppliers for procurement of parts.

Shell Equiva (November 2001 to April 2003) - Equiva is a supplier centric, supplier managed catalog leveraging to the i2 DKM/ Content Exchange capabilities. Content for Equiva was pulled out from external systems like Trade Ranger into Alliances enterprise catalog and this catalog is a record of all Materials, direct items and indirect MRO items. The system was rolled out to 6 plants of Equiva over North America and this it got the advantage of single catalog across different plants and also avoided mastering MRO parts in the SAP ERP system.
