SANMINA Corp. (Fortune 500, Electronics Manufacturing Services provider) California, USA Graduate Student Research Associate (Analyst) Oct ‘15 – Jan ‘17

Data Mining and Modelling: Led series of data collection efforts over a quarter from assembly line operations; organized and structured data into appropriate granularity for analyses. Performed 2-factor DOE to assess correlation between volume

& area of solder paste to the quality of solder print.

-- Insights led to minimization of solder print defects, resulting in 15% increase in daily throughput.

Dashboards: Produced databases for analyzing hourly throughput, downtime and factors leading to downtime and PCB failure. Created dashboards using excel for reporting obtained data using pivot tables and VLOOKUP.

-- Raw, disparate data was transformed into lucid, meaningful and actionable information.

-- Information obtained led to corrective actions thus reducing line downtime by 10%.

Performed Ad hoc analysis to identify the root cause for failing to meet the weekly throughput demand of a leading cloud computing customer. The corrective actions based on analysis led to increase in assembly line throughput by 33%

-- Implemented supermarket inventory strategy to reduce assembly lead times for critical SMT lines.

-- resulting in $1.3 Million of additional revenue capture.

$1.4 Million excess revenue generation - spearheaded a cross-functional operations team to strategize and implement a sustainable process to handle eleventh-hour PCBA demand-upside for leading medical customer.

-- Redesigned & optimized assembly line operations - increasing the line capacity to 2x benchmarked baseline.

-- Performed Value Stream Mapping (VSM) and ABC analysis to eliminate 120 mins of non-value add line activities.

-- Adopted Lean Six Sigma (LSS) principles and tools during overall project management and execution. SUNY Binghamton, Advanced Decision Modelling California, USA Research Associate Aug ’16-Dec ‘16

Developed a quantitative decision-making model to identify an effective strategy to manage capacity shortages for an EMS customer while considering internal and external factors.

-- Employed decisions science techniques like precision tree analysis, stochastic probability assessment, demand forecasting methodologies to deduce an economically viable solution to satiate the demand upside.

-- Conducted sensitivity analysis on model output to reflect market conditions accurately. SAE International Consortium-Project Vyoma (Professional Organization) California, USA Project Manager/ Design Lead Apr ‘13

Managed a 9-member team; laid the overall project architecture and strategy to design, fabricate and test an unmanned UAV for SAE’s marquee aero-design event.

Handled project requirements, roadmaps, time-lines and finances to effectively optimize the process pipeline to deliver the final product in 7 months. Led resource (human and finances) allocation strategy to meet project constraints & requirements.

Led the design discussions while incorporating DFA, DFM and DFR techniques; communicated design and sourced components from supplier base. Set up strategic partnerships with suppliers to streamline the process for future prototypes. Prioritized design deployment leveraging analytical tools like trade-off analysis, QFD (Quality Function Deployment), AHP

(Analytical Hierarchy Process)

Won the NASA Systems Engineering award.
