Industrial Engineer Intern, Saraswathi Mills, Salem, India (May 2016 – August 2016)

• Developed an optimized layout and achieved continuous flow with lead time reduction.

• Improved OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) by 11% by tracking down the machine capacity, availability, and performance standards.

• Implemented lean tools such as 5S, Value Stream Mapping, and Kanban.

• Created and verified standardized work instructions for the production floor.

• Reduced the ideal time and achieved on-time delivery time along with minimization to cost. Quality Engineer, Rabwin Industries, Coimbatore, India (October 2014 -July 2015)

• Performed root cause analysis and implemented CAPA (corrective and preventive action) to prevent recurrence of material rework and product recall, which ensured cost reduction.

• Analyzed product performance data to determine the process capabilities (Cpk & Ppk) and improve the process controls.

• Performed in-process / finished parts dimensional quality inspection using precision measuring tools such as micrometers, calipers, and gauges and trained in conducting Gage R&R study to investigate the capability of measurement system.

• Worked with cross-functional team to address the quality issues and improve the process quality.

• Conducted supplier system evaluation and special process audits to aid in mutual development / beneficiary relationship.

Junior Quality Engineer Roots Industries India Limited, Coimbatore, India (April 2013 –July 2014)

• Performed layout study, time study and reduced the ideal time of the labor by 19% and resulted in annual saving of $3640 using lean tools (VSM, kaizen and 5S)

• Implemented Poka-Yoke in the manual assembly station to prevent defects from occurring and it resulted in 12% increase in efficiency.

• Analyzed customer concerns through structural 8-D/5-Why approach and implemented corrective and preventive actions to effectively bring down the risk priority at various levels in the process.

• Designed and fabricated a fixture to improve the efficiency of the process and to reduce the lead time.

• Supported the engineering team in APQP documentation (example: PPAP, Process FMEA and Gage R&R).

• Implemented visual controls in the inspection process and generated standard work instructions for sub- assembly and inspection.

• Worked in a team to facilitate Kaizen Blitz (continuous improvement project) to improve production efficiency. PROJECTS & PAPERS

Project: Design of experiments to test the Adhesive Strength on Aluminum Alloy

• Determined the bonding strength and effectiveness of different adhesives used to bond Aluminum alloys sheets.

• Performed ANOVA test using design expert to analyze the effect of response variable and concluded that the interaction between adhesive and surface area of contact has a significant effect over the bonding strength. Project: Risk Analysis of Oil Spill

• Analyzed the risk involved in the marine oil spill in relation with the single point mooring system using Bayesian network.

• Identified the different critical factors that result towards the failure of the system and generated a report. Project: Design and Development Study on Incremental Sheet Metal Forming using Copper Sheet

• Examined the behavior of copper material with incremental forming process and investigated its feasibility over the conventional process.

• Analyzed various parameters such as the formability, thickness distribution, stress distribution and surface roughness of the copper sheet.

Paper: Decision Support for Ambulance Dispatching

• Performed literature review on centrality and nearest neighbor method to develop a hybrid methodology by integrating the concept of parallelism.

• Reduced the response time significantly and improved the overall effectiveness. SOFTWARE SKILLS
