Professional Experience:

Manufacturing Engineer Himanshu Engineering Services, India June 2014 to December 2014

Experienced Concept to launch product design and release, by working with Design, manufacturing teams and customers to deliver a high quality product as per customer requirement with optimized cost and performance

Conducted time and motion study to improve the production by 6% and reduce labour effort by 12%

Implemented process mapping to eliminate non-value added activities, resulted in improved cycle time by 5%

Designed Process and scheduled batches for new orders to meet the deadline

Developed shop floor metrics to depict where bottlenecks, inefficiencies and opportunities exist, and take actions

Minimized 10% waste through 5S Audits, statistical analysis and visual management SOP documentations

Developed Value Stream Map to depict NVA activities and perform re-layout to minimize waste and maximize throughput

Generated and documented PFMEA, APQP and PPAP

Lead cross-functional teams to design product as per requirement and used DMAIC for improvements

Continuous Improvement Engineer EPCOS-TDK Pvt. Ltd, India July 2013 to May 2014

Utilized Six Sigma DMAIC methodology for projects to facilitate continuous improvement in plant

Followed Kaizen techniques for continuous improvements and rectifying bottleneck affecting the line

Worked on process requirements and benchmarks, rectifying bottlenecks using root cause analysis (RCA), 5Whys, 8D and SPC

Defined problem statement, project scope with design, manufacturing teams

Verified and validated the final design based on DFMEA and Worked with manufacturing team for the feasibility of unit on machines

Followed standard operating procedures to ensure ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standard were maintained

Increased throughput by 30% of final product and increased the load bearing capacity from 5N to 15N

Using DMAIC techniques, improved the Process cycle efficiency from 1.7% to 11.2% and acquired an annual cumulative savings of INR 850,000

Mechanical Engineering Intern Himanshu Engineering Services, India July 2011 to June 2012

Created 3D/2D drawings with GD&T mark-ups using AutoCAD, Pro-E, and solid works

Released 2D prints for manufacturing

Drafted designs and explained blueprints to manufacturing team

Conducted quality check of materials received

Hands on experience with welding, lathe, milling, grinding, stamping, forming, assembly, Laser/water jet CNC machine

Supervision on floor, documenting designs, making bills were other duties assigned

Project Work:

Graduate Student University of Texas at Arlington, TX, USA Jan 2015 to Dec 2016

Product Development Production and Reliability Design: Six Sigma DMAIC project, by applying the DMAIC methodology to the Hopper’s Choppers cycle time dilemma, the total cycle time was reduced from 3.5 weeks to 2 weeks. Used SPC, FMEA, value stream map, root cause analysis to define problems and implement improvements

Simulation and Optimization: As a team our main objective was to design and simulate a process with the given amount of resources and a fixed throughput at the end. We used six sigma DMAIC method to execute the entire project. We started the process design by parts and analyse them and then integrated them as a whole at the end.

Facility Planning and Design: To design a new, cost-justified Distribution centre for ACME to support business projections through 2021. Which includes product flow, Equipment Selection, space utilization, operational plan, designing of DC layout using AutoCAD and analysis.

Educational Qualifications:

Master of Science (MS) - Industrial Engineering University of Texas at Arlington, USA GPA: 3.6/4.0 (Dec-2016)

Bachelor of Engineering (BE) - Mechanical Engineering University of Pune, India GPA: 3.3/4.0 (May-2014)

Certification:

Six Sigma Green Belt Institute of Industrial and Systems Engineers (IISE) License No. 2500-15415
