Ricky Wijanarko - Consultant, Districon Solutions APAC
“Flowing Towards Excellence”

My journey into the world of logistics and supply chain management began with a curiosity about how raw materials transform into finished products and reach people worldwide. This fascination led me to pursue a BSc in Ocean Engineering at Institut Teknolgi Bandung (Indonesia), specializing in container port design, and later a MSc in Transport, Infrastructure, and Logistics at TU Delft (The Netherlands). My master’s thesis focused on agent-based simulation to understand the carbon emission impact of crowdshipping, reflecting my commitment to sustainable logistics solutions.

At Districon, I leverage my background and passion for logistics to optimize the global flow of goods for our clients. My previous experience as a Supply Chain Specialist in an e-commerce company in Indonesia honed my skills in logistics solution design and strategic planning. I have worked on diverse projects involving warehouse design, logistics network design, cost-saving initiatives, and streamlining logistics operations. This hands-on experience has equipped me with the expertise to tackle complex logistics challenges and drive efficiency on a global scale.

In my role at Districon, I focus on data analytics, logistics consultancy, discrete event simulation, and logistics concept design. I have had the privilege of working with renowned clients such as Heineken, Unilever, Nestlé, P&G, and Givaudan. Each project has been an opportunity to apply innovative solutions and optimize supply chain flows, ensuring that our clients achieve their logistics goals. I am excited to continue this journey with Districon, where we turn logistics challenges into seamless flows of success across the globe.
