EDUCATION:

Masters in Industrial Engineering - Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester NY (2008) GPA 3.6

Bachelor of Engineering: Production Engineering, University of Mumbai, Mumbai India (2004)

Relevant Coursework:

Linear Programming, Systems Simulation, Design of Experiments, Logistics Management/Optimization, Operations Research, Project

Management, and Supply Chain Management.

PROJECTS:

JML Optical, Rochester New York Dec 2007 to March 2008

Worked on developing business decision tools for JML Optics for scheduling and capacity decisions. The project compared

existing scheduling model with SPT (Shortest Processing Time) and EDD (Earliest Due Date) models.

Developed a regression model to understand the effect on production priority due to process times, order quantity and cost.

Used tools like Minitab, Excel and Arena Simulation software.

Design of Experiments Dec 2006 to Feb. 2007

Designed a three factor Analysis of Variance model to analyze the optical intensity of printer, and to come out with a clear

recommendation regarding the factors that have most significant individual, as well as the interaction effects on the optical

intensity of printer.

Supply Chain Management Sept. 2008 to Nov. 2008

Developed a business strategy for a company (theoretical company) and identified the key drivers and metrics to measure the

performance of its supply chain.

Developed an aggregate plan to determine the number of workforce required each quarter based on the forecasted demand

and identified the push-pull boundary of the supply chain.

Analyzed the various factors influencing the sourcing decisions for the company.

System Simulation Dec 2006 to Feb. 2007

Developed a simulation model for a company to aid in capacity planning decisions.

Simulation proposed in-house production of products instead of outsourcing.

Conducted modeling and simulation study of a Hospital, and made recommendations on schedules of doctors and number of

resources required for a particular shift.
