Warehouse Facility Design for Fresh Food Now. Inc:

• Planned and designed in detail a 160 K sq. ft. warehouse facility for the 2016-2017 Material Handling Student Design Competition using WMS and MS Visio.

• Determined space utilization of the facility area, no. of racks, storage type, storage methods, no. of pallet loads.

• Performed Equipment Selection, determined the implementation plan and the operational plan for the years from 2016- 2034 by delivering Economic Justification for a total budget of $10 mn.

• Designed and feasibly implemented an improved and more efficient material Storage and Retrieval System

(MS/RS) by introducing an innovative concept of Mobile Trolley. Simulation Project for Med-Assist Facility Development:

• Discrete event simulation model formulation, analysis and enhancement for a medical operations facility using WITNESS Horizon and Flex-Sim.

• Successfully resolved crucial technical issues such as Resource Allocation, Process Bottlenecks, In-House production versus Outsourcing, etc.

• Cost Reduction in average cost/unit (ACPU) from $114/ unit to $21.4/ unit. Improved the facility output from 3000 units/ day to 12,000 units/ day.

Quality Systems Project for Trek Bicycles:

• A team leader for a project addressing the product quality issues at Trek Bicycles Pvt. Ltd. dealing with product recalls due to malfunctioning of the faulty skewer mechanism.

• Implemented Six Sigma-DMAIC, the 5S along with SPC tools of control charts and APQP and AQL as per ISO 2859-1 delivering an improved quality Skewer.

• Worked on a subsidiary project for improvement in the welding process for the bicycle frame to investigate an alternative method of welding and re-arrangement of floor space layout using BLOCPLAN. Project Management of a Computer Controlled Conveyor Belt System:

• Served as a Project Manager for planning and developing a computer controlled conveyor belt that moves and positions objects within less than 1 mm.

• Successfully addressed issues of Resource over-allocation, Project Scheduling and leveling and steps to be taken in the event of the project being behind schedule and over the budgeted cost with implications of about $1.3 Million.

• Dealt with personnel management issues of effective team co-ordination, project commitment, work delegation, team work management, addressing the corrections suggested by senior management and the VP, Operations.
