Design of Experiment- Lamar University (Summer 2012)
• Investigated surface roughness for producing bronze bushing using SPC and found them to be outside control limit
• Analyzed all 8 factors affecting surface roughness using software Design of Expert by implementing two level 28-
3
fractional factorial design with 32 runs
• Identified tool nose radius and feed rate to be most important factors affecting surface roughness and found the
optimum value for these factors corresponding to desired surface finish
Transportation Project-Tribhuvan University (2008)
• Developed a linear programming transportation model using Simulation and Excel solver for finding the shortest
route for transportation
