ACADEMIC research

Wright State University

Process Modeling using Simulation (in press)

Jan-Feb 2010

Technical report to Veterans Health Affairs

Authors: Pratik J.Parikh, Praveen Chawla, Rosalyn Scott and Kashyap Mehta

Use of simulation model in healthcare for improved care and services by

improving the capacity planning, scheduling and patient flow.

Lean Manufacturing for Engineers

Mixed Model Car Production System

June 2009

Use of TPS system for implementation of mixed model and customized car

production system. With the improved system, customized single flow car

production can cater to customer for their different demands, and improve

the sales for the car manufacturing plant.

Six Sigma for Engineers

January 2009

Creating a Lean Six Sigma Hospital Discharge Process

. Used Six Sigma tools to find out slow rate for discharge process and lean

manufacturing to reduce the non-value added time.

Utilization of Six Sigma in Thermal Power Plant

. Used Six Sigma tools to find out loss of De-Mineralized water in thermal

power plant, which further reduced company's De-Mineralized water

production cost.

Advanced Industrial Ergonomics

January 2008 - March 2008

Ergonomics in Motor sports

. Created motorsports vehicle design for reduction of G-Force, vibration,

pressure and display for the driver in motor sports vehicles.

. Collected data on safety measures and applied to final design.

Vibration Hand tools

. Researched and collected information on effect of vibration in hand tools

like chisels, hammers and screw drivers.

. Redesigned a chisel to reduce the vibration and increase the operational

ease for the user.

. Presented a case study on the prevention and reduction of vibration when

using a chisel.

Design of Seated Sewing Workstation

. Designed the workstation for reduction of physical pain, eye strain and

clearance for the operator.

. Presented a case study on safety and prevention measures for the

operator.
