Work Experience
1- Teaching Assistant at The University Of Texas, San Antonio (August 2011-May 2013)
Effectively taught Calculus and differential equations to undergraduate students
Graded student homework and recorded attendance timely
Successfully Proctored numerous exams
Substituted professors and delivered lectures on their behalf
2- Intern at Harland Clarke, San Antonio, TX (November 2012-February 2013)
Analyzed the checkfolio packaging system at Harland Clarke by creating a comprehensive value stream map
Improved effectiveness of the checkfolio system by identifying stations producing significantly more errors than others and eliminating root causes of these increased number of errors
Used statistical tools like analysis of variance, regression, tukey-kramar method, pareto charts etc to analyze each individual station in the checkfolio system
Created standard operating procedures for several activities
3-Intern at The Nugget Company, San Antonio, TX (May 2012-August 2012)
Created a thorough value stream map for the facility producing tanned leather from sheep skins
Eliminated unnecessary batching at several stations and implemented one piece flow to improve the flow of material
Identified piling of skins between stations due to difference in cycle times at the stations. Implemented pull from downstream as a solution to reduce work in process inventory and the cost associated with preserving it
Identified unnecessary variability in batch sizes at stations and implemented load balancing to process skins in a consistent batch size. This significantly reduced the waiting time between stations
Implementing lean tools & principles reduced the process lead time from 16 days to 9.5 days
4-Intern at Lancer Corporation, San Antonio, TX (Oct 2011-Dec 2011)
Implemented lean principles through value stream mapping of foaming and subassembly processes associated with manufacturing doors of beverage dispensers
Eliminated wastes like waiting, motion, transportation, over processing etc and allowed the company to produce the daily demand in 5 hours instead of 8 hours.
Implemented a Kanban system for the doors manufacturing section of the shop floor
Evaluated the performance of CNC machines at the company using statistical tools
5-Mechanical Engineer at KSB Pumps Company Ltd (August 2010-July 2011)
Worked in a team to develop a new pump product for firefighting applications in commercial buildings and hospitals
Modeled and designed various centrifugal pump parts using 3-D/2-D modeling applications such as unigraphics/NX 7.5, Pro-engineer and Autocad
Wrote NC programs for machining pump parts
Headed the master data management phase of the SAP implementation project and played an important role in successfully implementing SAP at the company
Efficiently managed variants of company products
Worked on continuous process improvement projects including re-modeling the shop floor, 5-S implementation etc
