My Upply Chain
Built by operators. Trained at MIT. Proven in production — from Amazon's #1 inbound dock to a 15,000-patient medical camp in Nairobi. We find the inefficiencies hiding in your operation, model them, and help you capture the savings.
Four services grounded in real project work — not slide decks. Every engagement starts with a free audit.
Mathematical modeling of production scheduling, changeover sequencing, network design, and inventory policy. Built with MILP/LP formulation — the same methods that identified $2.5M in annual savings for a packaging manufacturer.
Practical automation for teams drowning in manual data entry — LLM-assisted workflows, document parsing, approval routing, and reporting pipelines that connect to the tools you already use.
Working prototypes in days, not months. Interactive dashboards, scenario planners, and internal tools built with Python, Streamlit, Power BI, and FastAPI — so your team can see the numbers.
What-if modeling, sensitivity analysis, and risk-adjusted projections. Useful when you're deciding between vendors, adding a line, changing a network, or investing in automation.
A directional estimate based on benchmarks from our case study. Actual results depend on your operation.
Estimates use a conservative 15% efficiency factor on logistics cost, and a 75.9% changeover reduction benchmark from our sponsored thesis. Your actual results will depend on data quality, operational constraints, and implementation speed. No calculator replaces a proper audit.
A sponsored thesis project with a packaging manufacturer. Real client problem, real data — sanitized for portfolio use.
A packaging manufacturer was running 420 changeovers per year across 4 product families. Setup costs were $3.29M annually — and operations leadership suspected the sequencing wasn't optimal, but had no way to prove it. Nabeel built a MILP model in Gurobi to find out. The results were validated by the client's operations team.
The work that shaped how our principal consultant approaches supply chain problems — from the floor to the field.
Managed end-to-end pharmacy operations for a free medical camp across Kariobangi, Kayole, and Kibera, Nairobi. Fully manual, paper-based inventory — no digital infrastructure. Coordinated 8 clinical departments.
Led inbound teams at YYZ4 (Brampton) to #1 North American ranking during Peak 2020. Trained 15+ associates on equipment, safety, and inventory accuracy. Managed conveyor jams, hazmat rerouting, and mass damage crises.
Owned full-cycle residential acquisitions for a Canadian ISP. Managed the sales pipeline in Salesforce and coordinated installation timelines with technical teams.
Built production scheduling and labor optimization models using Gurobi and MILP formulation. Developed Python/SQL/Excel data pipelines to translate outputs into ERP recommendations.
(Full name: Syed Nabeel Imam — known professionally as Nabeel.)
We're a supply chain optimization consultancy based in Toronto. We started My Upply Chain to bring the same rigor we learned at Amazon, MIT, and in the field to scaling businesses that don't have a supply chain team yet.
Our principal consultant's background is unusual: Nabeel led inbound teams at Amazon's #1 North American dock, managed pharmacy operations for a 15,000-patient medical camp in Nairobi, and built the optimization model that identified $2.5M in annual savings for a packaging manufacturer.
We're early in our consulting journey — but we've already done the work in environments where the stakes were real. If your operation is drowning in manual data and you want to automate with speed and precision, that's what we do.
Real recommendations from people we've worked with — not paid testimonials.
I had the pleasure of working with Syed in his role in outbound sales, and he consistently did a great job. He's disciplined, proactive, and thoughtful in his outreach, with a strong ability to engage prospects and represent the company well. Syed took feedback seriously, improved quickly, and was dependable when it came to execution and follow-through. He'd be a strong addition to any sales team looking for someone reliable and driven.
It was my privilege to collaborate with Nabeel during our Master's studies in the MIT-ZLOG program. During that period, I had the opportunity to witness Nabeel's exceptional dedication and diligence. Above all, I was profoundly impressed by Nabeel's sustained commitment and strenuous effort, particularly during challenging group projects such as the 'Role of machine learning in supply chain planning and design' project. Nabeel is a natural collaborator who brings a positive, solutions-oriented mindset to every challenge. He would be a tremendous asset to any team, and I totally recommend him.

Book a free 30-minute audit. We'll learn about your operation, identify your biggest inefficiencies, and tell you honestly whether optimization or automation is worth it — with zero obligation.
Select a time that works for you. We'll handle the rest.
Everything you need to know before getting started.
Scaling businesses — typically $100K+ in revenue, or smaller if you're growing fast — that have logistical hurdles and are drowning in manual data entry. We're based in Toronto and serve the GTA and Ontario in person, and remotely worldwide. We usually work with COOs and VPs of Operations.
No. We integrate with what you already use — ERPs, WMS, CRMs, spreadsheets. The goal is to enhance your operation, not disrupt it. If your data lives in spreadsheets, we start there.
The free audit is 30 minutes plus a written summary. First optimization or automation builds typically go live within 4–6 weeks. The sponsored thesis project took 4 weeks from model completion to full ERP go-live.
Perfect. That's why we exist. We handle all the technical work — modeling, coding, integration — and train your team to use what we build. You don't need to be an expert. You just need to be ready to save time and money.
The audit is completely free. Projects start at $1,500 for a scoped engagement, and retainers start at $500/month. Success-based pricing is available for larger engagements. You only proceed if the ROI makes sense for your business.
For larger builds — especially website maintenance, front-end development, or long-term support — we work with a small network of vetted developers. You always deal with our principal consultant directly. We stay accountable for the outcome.
Yes — under NDA. We can walk you through the full methodology, the Gurobi model, the sensitivity analysis, and the implementation steps from the packaging project. We also have simulation projects built on public data that we can discuss. Reach out and we'll share what we can.
