PROJECT- LEAN SIX SIGMA DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION

CROWLEY CHEMICAL COMPANY, Kent, OH

Nov 2009 - Jun 2010

Worked on a Lean Six Sigma project to reduce Lead and setup time and, to

remove waste from the rubber blending and compounding machine maintenance

process.

. Project goal was to increase productivity by 24 % and did it by 22% with

an annual savings of 89K.

. Reduced setup time from 4 hours to 1 hour.

. Reduced work in process (WIP) time by 30%.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

> GANESH ANHYDRIDE LTD., India

Designation: Process Engineer

April 2004 - March 2006

. Developed the maleic anhydride manufacturing process and maintained

proper operating conditions.

. Led continuous improvement projects for removing wastes, defects and

reducing the cycle time of the maleic anhydride production.

. Expertise in optimization of operations such as vacuum distillation,

scrubbing, cooling, chilling, drying etc. by implementing Lean Six Sigma

manufacturing methodology.

. Assessed the quality of the products using Statistical Process Control

(SPC) methods to identify the variation and undesirable adulteration and

improved the process accordingly.

. Saved time and the labor cost by employing process control via Honey well

Distributed Control System (DCS) to monitor pressure, temperature and

flow valves during the process.

. Ensured the proper functioning and troubleshooting of the equipments like

heat exchangers, evaporators, mixing equipments, steam jet ejectors,

pumps, pipes and pneumatic valves.

. Experienced in energy and mass balance calculations, preparing PFDs,

reviewing P&IDs, selecting process utilities, energy conservation and

utilization.

> MAA BIJASANI PETRO CHEM PVT. LTD., India

Designation: Production Engineer

July 2002- April 2004

. Achieved the timely and smooth functionality of a complex process of

naphtha distillation into fractions of pentane, hexane and other alkanes.

. Effectively increased the batch process up time by modifying the

operating procedures and by reducing inventory.

. Designed and implemented the strategies for the process improvement to

fulfill the qualitative and economic needs of the customer.

. Achieved top volume of production by conducting raw material and product

validations at pilot plant scale.

. Set up contingency and emergency preparedness plans for the process

upsets.

. Kept up with the production deadlines ensuring in time production to

improve customer service speed and delivery.

. Audited the entire manufacturing facility for the energy conservation and

reuse. The audit included both process as well as utility energy

requirements and was successful in reducing the total energy consumption.
