Optimising decisions with models and maths
Operations research analyst with eight years using mathematical modelling and optimisation to improve complex decisions for a logistics company and an airline in Singapore. Turns messy operational problems into models that find better answers — routing, scheduling, capacity and pricing — using optimisation, simulation and analytics to save real money and improve service. Built an optimisation model that cut logistics costs and a scheduling tool that improved utilisation. Builds optimisation and simulation models, analyses operational data, develops decision tools, quantifies trade-offs, and translates results into recommendations leaders act on. Analytical, rigorous and practical. Looking for an operations-research or decision-analytics role with a company whose hardest problems are worth modelling properly.
Operations Research Analyst
Built an optimisation model that cut logistics costs and a scheduling tool that improved fleet utilisation.
Build optimisation and simulation models for routing, scheduling and capacity, beating decisions made by intuition.
Analyse large operational datasets, finding the structure and constraints a good model has to capture.
Quantify trade-offs between cost, service and risk, giving leaders a clear basis for hard decisions.
Translate model results into recommendations leaders act on, so the analysis changes what the business does.
Analyst
Developed optimisation and analytics work, steadily building modelling and data skills over the years.
Learned optimisation, simulation and data analysis on the job across more than two years.
Gained the experience and expertise that led into an operations-research-analyst role of my own.
