INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING INTERNSHIP

Medtronic, Inc. Summer 2011, Tempe, Arizona

Supply Chain Planning Intern for CRDM (Cardiac Rhythm Disease Management)

Implemented Design for Six Sigma framework for predictive engineering

Developed an advanced statistical inventory model for the die stack process to ensure high On Time Delivery expectations at minimal inventory holding costs.

Finance department estimated savings of $1.5 Million per year

Adapted a spreadsheet, using Oracle Crystal Ball and Opt Quest, to automatically smooth and level-load the start schedule for manufacturing hybrids (populated printed circuit boards)

Burden reduction – reduced level load manual process time by 50%, variance reduction

AEROSPACE & AIRCRAFT DESIGN INTERNSHIP

CADES Digitech Pvt. Ltd, Summer 2008, Bangalore, India

Design Intern in the aerospace department

Engineered a composite structure for the tail section of a small passenger aircraft using various 3D modeling techniques with CATIA V5 R18

ACADEMIC PROJECTS

Production Systems, Network flows, 4-C Manufacturing Case Study, Spring 2011-2012, ASU

Examined the implementation of flexible manufacturing and automated part transfer systems in a production facility

Conceptualized potential layout for new production facility, analyzed cost of equipment, created production and tool loading schedule using deterministic heuristics. Cycle time reduction.

Implemented a best course of action based on prediction for future demand and product development

Formulated minimum cost flow, knapsack and assignment problems as shortest path problems, min cost flow problems using networks and solved them through efficient algorithms.

Simulating Stochastic Systems, Airport Security by Rockwell Architecture, Spring 2011, ASU

Simulated the security equipment and staffing layout using Arena for the present and the two proposed systems

Scenario 1 cost $3,055,994 per year as compared to $2,170,343 for scenario 2

Input conveyors were identified to be the bottleneck operation during security check

Information Systems Engineering, Production Scheduling & Planning, Fall 2010, ASU

Developed a tool for Production Managers to optimize the production scheduling process in the manufacture of missile components

Constructed Entity-Relationship models, database using MySQL & Implemented VBA in excel

Reduced operation time, setup time, idle time, bottlenecks given the number of work centers

LEADERSHIP AND RELEVANT ACTIVITIES
