Work Experience

Jaisanguine, USA (Industrial Engineer)

Dec2009-current

A 37% cost cutting was achieved

. Designed a better workflow identification and time study process using

RFID

. The RFID technique helped us to identify floating bottle necks,

improve the workflow, keep a track of the WIP, draw a current state

value stream map and identify the non value added time.

. Motivated the workers and implemented 5S in all the work stations,

this reduced the number of accidents and improved the throughput by

23%

. Improve the flow of products and materials by decreasing cycle times

and eliminating bottlenecks.

. Conduct optimization and capacity analysis to drive improvement

products and support new business.

. Eliminate waste through the application of lean practices throughout

the enterprise.

. Identify and eliminate causes of equipment downtime.

. Improve material handling in the plants and warehouses.

. Reduce waste motion through the proper design of the work environment.

. Demonstrate a daily commitment to the Continuous Improvement Process

and practice the "Basic Principles."

. Conduct studies pertaining to cost control, cost reduction, inventory

control, and production record systems.

. Develop and implement plans and programs for facility modifications

and revisions to operating methods.

. Assist facilities engineers in the planning and design of facilities.

Implemented office lean too

. Designed a checklist to identify the feasibility of producing a

product, this aided in reducing the time taken for Decision making

process by 75%.

. Drew a value stream map for the paper processing processes, identified

the repeating and unwanted processes to be eliminated. The Raw

Processing time reduced by 30% per day.

. Implemented 5S marking in conference room and office workspace, this

reduce time delay

. Reduced the batch size of files being moved though the table to

achieve Kanban

Koch-Glitsch and Wichita State University, Wichita, KS.(Graduate Research

Assistant) Aug 2007- Feb 2008

Designed an Ergonomically better work area, negotiated the changes to be

implemented between the management and the workers.

. These changes were designed logically by collecting Ergonomic data for

identifying potential risk factors in the structured packing area.

Conduct Video Analysis, which helped us in assessing risk factors and

designing potential interventions.

. Data Analysis was performed on Ergo Intelligence software package.

. Interventions were implemented and the implemented interventions were

re-analyzed for neglecting the odds

. After implementing the changes a forecast of 63% reduction in WMSD was

found using the Vibration data Analysis

. Improved the work standards

. Achieved OSHA standards

M/s.Karthick Pumps, Coimbatore, India.(Manufacturing Engineer Intern)

Aug 2006 - Aug 2007

. Directly involved in the installation and successful implementation of

new machinery, test equipment, inspection equipment and automation for

machining and assembling a Mono block pump and manufacturing a 1 hp

motor.

. Achieved 1 hp motor production volume while obtaining 10 % lower

manufacturing cost than anticipated, along with world-class quality.

. The 1 hp motor was so successful; that it eliminated the need for

purchasing it out side.

. Promoted and participated in multifunctional continuous improvement

teams that improved assembly and machining quality and productivity.

. Selected analytical techniques to resolve production issues and worked

with product design. Proven hands-on experience in successfully

managing process-engineering activities for the 1 hp mono block pump

Ashok Leyland Private Ltd, Chennai, India(Production Engineer Intern)

May 2005 - Jun 2006

A reduced lead time of 70 minutes per day in the dispatch of materials to

customers was achieved

. Modeled a current state value stream map of the heavy vehicle chassis

assembly line

. Improved capacity of bottleneck operations by 20% from 36,000 units to

45,000 units per year

. Reduced tool consumption cost by 32% with a recurring annual saving of

$12,000 per year

. Designed tools, jigs and fixtures and have hands on experience in CNC

machining

. Prepared standardized worksheets(SOP), productivity charts and

evaluated production against order forecast

Projects

Shockerplant, Simulated Aircraft Manufacturing Industries, Wichita State

University

Identified the resources given, calculated and forecasted demand for

the future weeks and met the production requirements in accordance to the

forecast. Found the push-pull boundary and reduced the floating of

bottlenecks. The project fetched a total profit approximately $500,000 for

a period of 12 weeks

Design of Experiments

We selected seven factors after care full consideration. A cause and

effect diagram was draw based on operators experience and also based on the

maintenance data of the machine. The experiments were conducted and data

was analyzed using the stat ease software the analyzed data was then

checked for normality and other assumptions made while considering the

ANOVA. After the ANOVA assumptions were satisfied model graphs were drawn

and studied the results showed us that the influence of X axis, y axis, B

axis and tool vendor on the variation in hole diameter. Thus we concluded

that the variation in the hole diameter is influenced by the four factors.

Further experiments need to be conducted considering the four factors and

the effect of the same in the variation in hole diameter. Also further

experiments need to be conducted

Koch-Glitsch and Wichita State University, Wichita, KS. (Ergonomics)

Vibrations of frequency and force levels were found to be the

significant influences on force recall accuracy. A causal relationship

between force recall accuracy and the biodynamic response of the hand and

arm system, with respect to vibration, exists within each user. The

results showed the force recall errors are small at higher grip/push force

levels. From this it is evident that higher vibration frequencies appear

to cause more damage to the muscles, this also causes more damage to

ligaments and tendons. The use of anti-vibration gloves or impact

reduction gloves only shows effectiveness within certain frequencies during

usage. The size of the handle, along with the material type, has an effect

on the vibration absorbed and dampening is lowered.

Kaman Aerostructures and Wichita State University, Wichita, KS(Lean

Engineering)

In short term we proposed the implementation of better data tracking

by implementing a database system and three scanners at three different

stages. We have done a cost effect analysis and found that the return on

investment would be in 18.92 months. We also eliminated some process that

did not add value, adding to this we also introduced the effective method

of communications. The numbers of processes were reduced from 20 to 17.

Supply Chain Optimization

From a research perspective, we identified and compared different

types of contracts, how companies make use of them, the contracts pros and

cons as well as risks that incurred. Information sharing is a vital part

of a successful supply chain and when the amount of information to be

shared is integrated into the contracts, efficiency and safety for all

parties may be obtained, increasing profits.

Manufacturing

Suggested methodologies to employ RFID techniques in manufacturing

process, developed a RFID transmitter, RFID receiver and a LabVIEW

application to do a time study, the Tamil Nadu State Government granted

fund to do this project.
