I have made a proposal for back integration with suppliers through an investment that provides packaging products like packaging boxes and saves expenses by around 5 million EGP annually.
I submitted a proposal to move some stores from the tenth of Ramadan to the city of Obour, which resulted in saving time, effort, transfers and increasing the process by saving a cost of about 6 million pounds annually.
I proposed to buy a fingerprint and cellophane machines after analyzing the annual operating cost, and the two machines were purchased and approximately 2 million 500 thousand pounds Were saved annually.
I discovered errors in registration and scheduling during the years 2018-2019, about 8 million pounds.
I have reviewed the lease contract for some machine contracts and provided one million two hundred thousand pounds in 2019.
The insurance company reviewed MetLife and discovered settlement errors for 200,000 pounds, and it was recovered.
I suggested producing new products similar to products that are sold to category (A ) and sold to category (B, C) through a sister company and reduce their prices according to competitors ’prices without prejudice to the prices of our current products and keep the name in the market.
I recommended adjusting the company strategy by shrinking and limiting it to selling the most wanted items in the market after performing a Pareto Analysis to increase profits and transfer the rest of the products to a sister company to compete with our competitors in the market.
