Presented the investment required to facilitate the plant to deliver the required demand for Just in time. Line rebalancing to achieve target efficiency. Coordinate with corporate team to present various projects and the return on investment. Determined the most cost efficient overtime/number of shifts ratio to meet customer JIT overtime.

4. Continuous Improvement Projects: Lead and train operators with multiple projects including line rearrangement with new concept flow for sub assembly, line side material presentation, sequencing operation to reduce non value added time. Equipment and Labor analysis to determine elements for improvement. Downtime tracking to identify areas for kaizen events. 5. Lean Warehousing Project: Coordinated with plant and corporate teams and Conducted Business case to analyze headcount required to run and acquire the 3PL operated warehouse along with equipment and material required for lean warehousing. Implemented efficient material handler utilization using Maxi-Most for part delivery. Analyzed the existing delivery from supplier and presented and executed the proposed delivery time and date for truck scheduling. 6. Inventory & Logistic Projects: Analyzed the warehouse space required based on PFEP, shipping frequency and standard pack for footprint in the warehouse. Presented the business case from operation and management for cost saving.

7. Automation Projects: Data analysis and time study to present Automation on the shipping load/ unload for efficient finished goods flow to customer racks and turn round time for empty pallets. Risk analysis on equipment to determine the areas for additional automated shuttle system. 8. New Product Introduction: Coordinate with Lead engineers from different departments; Design, Reliability & Testing and validate Design for Assembly/Manufacturability (PFMEA) of new product. Labor analysis based on design to submit for costing/sales team. Acquire tooling and assembly fixtures for poke-yoke and ease of assembly following Good manufacturing practices. Analyze packaging requirements by conducting Stress test for durability of parts based on packaging container and size of in-coming assembly parts. Cost reduction projects for Just in time delivery of material department to prepare Plan for Every Part (PFEP)
