BHARAT HEAVY ELECTRICALS LTD, India, Summer & spring of 2013 Lean Manufacturing Engineering Internship
Acquired and applied knowledge of current and emerging IT practices, to include fundamental manufacturing and engineering concepts, process improvements, and lean methodologies. Supported cost reduction ideas and liaised with senior management to create designs, analyze mechanical systems, and solve design issues. Key Accomplishments:
• Successfully implemented lean process improvements that reduced energy consumption by 10%.
• Spearheaded a optimum utilization feasibility study that justified cost proposals.
• Created value by properly evaluating process improvements and recommending cost reduction methods to increase efficiency and improve quality.
• Reduced non-value-added activities 26% to 7% using value stream map.
• Implemented the concepts of 5s to promote safe work environment. KEY PROJECTS
Estimated System Reliability of diesel engine using Weibull Distribution, Spring 2017 Pursued independent research on Windchill software for estimating mean time between failures. Utilized failure data to estimate cumulative, probability density function, failure rate, and reliability. Key Accomplishments:
• Gained detailed knowledge on how to plot Weibull probability plotting.
• Analyses of real data set & compare these estimators in terms of deficiency via Monte Carlo simulation.
• The comprehensive analysis for complete failure data using Weibull Distribution and the Median rank regression
(MRR) for data- fitting method is described and goodness-of-fit using correlation coefficient.
• The moment-based piecewise polynomial model is proposed to estimate the parameters of the reliability & probability distribution of the products.
• Two parameter Weibull distribution’s linear regression model is used for analyzing wind speed pattern variations. Improvement of the Reliability of Automatic Manufacture Systems by Using FTA Technique, Fall 2016 Utilized a planned algorithm on the base of FBD, FTA, and FEMA tools to recognize the potential fault roots in the first levels of planning, determine the root cause of potential faults and prioritize corrective actions, and reduce potential failures aimed at increasing reliability of systems and decreasing associated cost. Key Accomplishments:
• The FMEA Plan to Present Proposed Measures.
• The organized FMEA on the base of potential faults and yielded RP Ns are optimized. Implementing Lean Manufacturing Principles in Job Production, Spring 2016 Researched productivity and work-in-process using value stream maps, time studies, and spaghetti diagrams to determine if productivity is best improved using one-piece flow or batch processing.
