Optimization, Human Factors in Safety, Engineering Management

Projects

. Quality Assurance project to maximize output of height and flight time of

a paper helicopter by optimizing the critical factors affecting response

using a fractional factorial design in MINITAB. Conducted Gauge R&R

study, Cause and Effect Analysis, Response Surface design, documented

standard production process and devised SPC plan using Control charts

. Six Sigma Project for Pistachio's Dining Services: Conducted a survey to

perform Root Cause Analysis and Time study for making and serving of high

selling items in the dining services. Used DMAIC process and 5S

methodology to improve key control input and output variables which were

identified using Pareto Analysis, Histograms, using MINITAB and improved

result by one sigma level to increase the throughput by almost 17% with

current resources

. Supply Chain Modeling for Ford Gum & Machine Company Inc, Akron, New

York: Built a mathematical-model (in LINDO) to solve warehouse location

and distribution problem and recommended the placement of the warehouses'

and percentage to be distributed by each warehouse. Created a potential

cost saving of approximately 8% to 11%

. Modeled a detailed pulley assembly with dimensional tolerances and GD&T

to ensure proper assembly, using CAD software ProEngineer. Also used

parametric-variational modeling to constraint different dimensions

. Designed a keychain using a 3D modeling software RHINO considering its

manufacturability by the available tool and manufactured the part on CNC

machine by verifying tool paths and generating CNC code for the same

using MasterCAM

. Island Evacuation incase of Hurricane: Created a working simulation model

for island evacuation in case of a Hurricane using a simulation software

ARENA and reduced the evacuation time by almost 20% using current

resources

. Safety Analysis of a Food Court to meet OSHA standards by identifying and

evaluating hazards using FMEA, FTA, NIOSH lifting equation. Recommended

steps to make the food court environment safer for employees and

customers

. Re-design of a website (www.fidelity.com) by brainstorming new ideas,

sorting important ones and voting to finalize ideas by creating Virtual

Teams

. Automation of playground, a non-conventional source of energy: Did a vast

research of all the playgrounds in Mumbai, India to make them self

sufficient by designing a model producing energy in the form of

electricity

Skills

. Minitab, Rhino, ProEngineer, LINDO, Arena, ITK-Snap, PLC programming,

Basics of C, C++ and SQL

. Advanced skills in working with Microsoft Office (Excel, Word, and

PowerPoint), MS Visio

Organizational Skills and Activities

. Finance Head of students' chapter of Indian Institute of Industrial

Engineers

. Organized industrial visits to Indian Space Research Organization and

Gulf Lubricants

. Captain of college Cricket team and Vice-Captain of Volleyball team
