    Corporate Prourement Intern - JbS

    Projects

    • Banking Cards Project

      • For this project, I gathered, processed and analyzed historical spend data, grouped by payment type: virtual, purchasing and corporate cards (all rebate eligible spend) as well as through non-card purchasing orders. The goal of the project was to find savings opportunities by reducing the cost of making payments and/or maximising rebates on spend. This project had a target ROI of $260,000.Throught this analysis, I found $80 million/year of spend, currently done through small non-rebate eligible purchasing orders, which if paid for through rebatable means will lead to an ROI of $1.2 million/year (approximately 5x target). Additionally, I found opportunities to save an additional 0.31% on all card spend by adjusting JBS's payment days performance to match their WACC.

    • Diesel Fuel Analysis

      • Working with the head of Energy Procurement, I identified 6 plants for which there are significant savings opportunities (average 20% yearly) to be capitalized by investing in larger off-road diesel tanks to capture OPIS competitive diesel pricing and reduce fuel shipment costs. Additionally, we identified further savings opportunities from installing electric TRUs with potential to reduce energy costs by 30% to 80% and qualify for rebates.

    • VBA Automation

      • While working on my data analysis projects, I reviewed, refactored and built additional Visual Basics Macros to automate weekly and monthly tasks for the procurement function.
