Rohit was one of the best goods flow planners I've been worked with. He was responsible for my DC's short-term and mid-term forecast for many
months in 2016. His professionalism on data analysis, logistics & supply chain systems, has made him a reliable & efficient business working partner.
The most impressive thing for me was his pro-active way of communicating forecast results with me, and always communicate his thoughts on the
possible route causes in a straight forward manner. His previously unique working experience in IOS has added value to his role as a flow & capacity
planner, which in my eyes enabled him a totality view on IKEA supply chain. Rohit is very easy going & assertive. I would strongly recommend him for
any international teams. Gary Cheng-OPS Manager at IKEA Low Flow DC, Asia Pacific
