Manufacturing Operations Intern Switzer, Buffalo August 2017-December 2017

Estimated an annual savings of $120000 due to the reduction of variation in the sheet etching process. This estimate was calculated based on an average of $14 savings per sheet.

Estimated an annual savings of $4000 through the determination of an optimum level of etch rate using SPC analysis and thus, facilitating the decision making process of acid-bath change.

Reduced the Defects Per Million Opportunities (DPMO) by 77% and improved the process yield from 87% to 94% by implementing DMAIC methodology to the sheet etching process.

Calculated Risk Priority Number (RPN) for factors affecting the etching process using a PFMEA chart and suggested improvements to the process based on this chart.

Performed Root Cause Analysis for variation in etching process and developed a control plan to keep the variation in check. Supply Chain Research Intern Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, India May 2015-July 2015

Performed cost-benefit analysis for a one-month period and estimated a difference of 7% and 12% on ROI respectively for manually operated vs automated machines used in industries.

Estimated a Net Profit difference of $827000 and $1677400 respectively for the automated vs manually operated machines when considered for a one-month period of operation.

Performed risk assessment analysis of implementing automation to different processes in industries varying in size taking into consideration factors of initial investment, net profit and ROI. Process Improvement Intern Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, India May 2014 – July 2014

Reduced the cycle time of Pylon assembly process by 5 days and estimated an annual savings of $10000 through the reduction in wait time, queue time achieved due to the implementation of the new assembly sequence.

Analyzed and compared different assembly sequences using Critical Path Method and CAD software Creo Parametric 2.0.

Experienced different industrial practices such as Inventory and Labor Management and Standard Operating Procedures. Manufacturing Processes Trainee Central Tool Room & Training Centre, India May 2013 - June 2013

Designed and assembled part designs, assembly designs & generative surface designs for turning, grinding & milling manufacturing processes using the CAD designing software CATIA V5.

Implemented design skills acquired from CATIA V5 software for the project on “Manufacturing of hand injection mold” using CNC machining processes such as CNC Milling & CNC Turning. ACADEMIC PROJECTS

Application of Lean Techniques for Process Improvement and Cycle Time Reduction January 2017 – May 2017

Implemented 5S to application process of an insurance company resulting in 34.7% decrease in cycle time and decreased the data entry time by 15% by creating an A3 problem-solving chart for faster data entry methods.

Mapped the Current and Future State Value Streams for an aeronautical industry to analyze material and information flow. Modelling and Analysis of Discrete Event & Agent Based Simulations January 2017 – May 2017

Compared 3 investment options for a company considering the Net Present Value using @Risk 7.5

Modeled a call center with three departments in Arena 12 and analyzed the results of the discrete event simulation to propose a more efficient system than the current.

Modeled an agent-based simulation of a restaurant offering two types of cuisines using AnyLogic 6.9 to study the customer behavior pattern considering various factors affecting the choice of the customer. Supply Chain Analysis on Distribution Network of Praxair Inc. August 2016 – December 2016

Analyzed the relationships between Plant location, Number of facilities, Inventory costs, Trucking network and costs, Pipeline network of the worldwide supply chain of Praxair.

Used Shuttle Optimization Tool (SOT) and continuous review process to estimate Economic Order Quantity (EOQ), Cycle Service Level and Safety Inventory Level considering factors.
