Work Experience

Caterpillar Inc, East Peoria, IL (Through Geometric Americas)

Manufacturing Engineer (Feb 2012- Present)

. Value Stream Transformation

- Created current and future state value stream maps to identify several

targeted areas for 6 Sigma Rapid Improvement Workshops (RIWs) that

would significantly lower the Lead time.

- Participated in a series of RIWs that led to reductions in inventory

and better workflow through the Value Streams enabling to meet TAKT

times

- By the end of the transformation, the Lead Time for the product family

was reduced by more than 35 percent (7 days) to just over 14 days.

. Non Value Added Work (NVA) Reduction in Constraint Cells

- Assessed current layout and measured material flow; Developed Spaghetti

Charts and Flow Process Charts

- Coordinated with operations, supply chain and future planning teams to

determine ideal state

- Optimized the sequence of operations and man machine ratios using Man

Machine Charts

- Utilized visual management, Kanban and 5S to reorganize the value

stream

- By the end of the project was able to bring about a savings of $130,000

. Setup Reduction from 70 minutes to 50 minutes

- Performed Time studies and recorded base line setups

- Identified external and internal elements in a setup

- Proposed, implemented and validated conversion of internal steps to

external to reduce internal setup time using DMAIC principles

. Process documentation

- Developed Standard Work for operating and setting up machines to

improve PQVC

- Conducted Safety Failure Mode Element Analysis (FMEA) inspections to

identify high risk work elements

- Proposed and implemented solutions to mitigate identified risks and

create Safe Job Procedures

. Identified, implemented and tracked Root Cause Corrective Actions (RCCAs)

to eliminate underlying causes of People Quality Velocity and Cost (PQVC)

losses

Matcor - Metal Fabrications, Morton, IL

Engineering Intern (Jan 2012- Feb 2012)

. Created and maintained Sheet Metal part drawings using Pro-Engineer

. Geometric Tolerance and Dimensioning of different parts drawings

. Prepared and maintained Bill of Materials and Routings of different parts

. Conducted cost analysis and identified impact of tooling availability on

part cost

Cabot Microelectronics, Aurora, IL

Summer Intern (May 2011- Aug 2011)

. Initiated and completed a 'Metrology Product Change Notification' (PCN)

package for customers' management of change requirements

- Conducted various Gauge Repeatability and Reproducibility (GR&R),

correlation and parallel testing studies for existing and new

metrology.

- Collected and analyzed data using the statistical tools in Minitab

- Presented the PCN to the International Change Review Board and

obtained approval

. Designed and tested a mechanism which flattens product samples to

eliminate variability, time and effort in measurement

. Maintained the existing databases for the Quality Management Systems

(QMS)

. Developed and documented quality related Temporary Operating Procedures

(TOPs) and work instructions

. Quickly integrated into a five man Engineering team for a lean project

and accomplished a 3 day decrease in turnaround time at the facility.

- Developed Spaghetti Charts, Process Charts and Current Value Stream

Maps. Identified Mudas and Non Value Added steps

- Conducted Root Cause Analysis and 5 Whys and proposed Kaizen events to

reduce Cycle Time of stations

- Implemented Kanban visual aid technique and Poke Yoke to improve

processes by elimination of Non Value Added work

- Conducted cost justification analysis for implementation
