Pro bono Consultant, Meals on Wheels- Non-Profit, Buffalo June 2017- Present

Warehouse optimization project to improve space and capacity utilization.

Measured the existing capacity and space utilization of the warehouse. Six Sigma Consultant, New York State University Police, Buffalo August 2016- December 2016

Managed a Six Sigma Project to improve the New Recruits Training Process and was awarded “Honorary Officer Accomplishment” Badge for successful completion of project.

Utilized Critical Incident technique to document and capture Voice of Customer (VOC) .

Optimized the existing training by creating a robust training module using DMAIC methodology as part of conti nuous improvement and reduced lead time from 14 weeks to 10 weeks, thereby saving $204,000 per year.

Eliminated Interdependencies and Inconsistencies of the existing training process. Performed FMEA and implemented a control plan, making the process adhere to the schedule.

Tools used: Project Charter, Gantt chart, KPIV/KPOV, FMEA, Fishbone diagram, VA/NVA study, SIPOC. Quality Engineer, ESAB Welding and Cutting, India June 2014- January 2016

Supervised Supplier and In-process quality assurance for a plant which produced 200 Metric tons of GMAW wires

5S-Zone Leader and responsible for creating and updating Standard Operating Procedures and Work Instructions.

Maintained and approved raw materials records in ERP management system for manufacturing support.

Continuous Improvement project- Improved Productivity and de-bottleneck of a process to reduce lead time. Minimized lead time for quality testing by 96% and significantly contributed in achieving 90% OTIF.

Utilized Six Sigma approach to reduce packaging defects using DMAIC technique and reduced scrap by 15%.

Responsible for NCR and OCAP to resolve using root cause analysis.

Employed Statistical Process Control to CTQ process characteristics-Collected data, drafted statistical control charts and explored the process capability, performed FMEA and implemented control methods to arrest variability.

Utilized lean tools such as VSM, sequence of events map, precedence diagram to redesign the process flow.

Monthly Report generation of Quality KPI’s and RCCM of poorly performing KPI’s. COURSE AND RESEARCH PROJECT

Particle Swarm Optimization to solve an Assembly Line Balancing problem using Python May 2017

Mathematical modeling of the bi-objective minimization function of Simple Assembly Line Balancing using particle Swarm Optimization in Python.

Rebalanced the process flow which reduced the cycle time from 131 minutes to 103.5 minutes and also improved the work load smoothening among the work stations.
