INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE

Quality Assurance Engineer Dec 2015 – June 2016

ReShilp Equipment’s India Pvt Ltd, Gujarat, India

ReShilp India Pvt. Ltd. Is a joint venture of Re Spa, Italy and Shilp gravures India Pvt Ltd. to provide technological innovative equipment solutions to Asian paper, film and foil converting industries.

Responsible for work monitoring for the assembly line, testing and inspecting heat melt machines (medical tape manufacturing); and Quality control of incoming components for brakes, clutches, airshafts and electronic components using different measurement devices including Vernier callipers, micrometres, and bore gauges.

Led customer complaint investigation for faulty installation; failure analysis of returned products and determined whether to stop shipping or production.

Used Pareto analysis, cause and effect analysis and run charts for problem solving. Gained understanding of Root-cause Analysis, total quality management (TQM), quality function deployment (QFD), design of experiments (DOE), analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Statistical process control (SPC).

Used control charts and time study for better estimation in production time on the shop floor, thus leading to reduced inventory.

Worked closely with suppliers for new product development of web guiding systems, supplier quality control and PPAP submissions; Production team for continuous process improvements, and customers for proper implementation and maintenance of products.

Assisted in design review activities using Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP), GD & T and Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) and provided recommendations for improvement.

Industrial Engineer Intern August 2014 – May 2015

Erhardt and Leimer India Pvt. Ltd., Gujarat, India

E+L Pvt. Ltd. manufactures equipment’s for web guiding systems and web tension monitoring for textile, paper, film and foil industries

Actively improved machine utilization of the manufacturing plant by redesigning the fixture for the Electrical Discharge Machine (EDM) leading to 3x improvement.

Responsible for modifying the job sheet causing reduced complexity of work entry and better identification of auxiliary problems prevalent on the shop floor.

Led product development for better utilization of waste resources generated by the lathe machine.

Proposed improvement solutions for redesigning assembly workstation.

Time study was performed on final assembly station and lean solutions were proposed.

Material flow was redesigned with lean solutions.

ACADEMIC PROJECTS - University of Michigan-Dearborn

Cycle time improvement and increase in production for Greiner Bio-One

Studied and investigated current blood collection tube production process.

Proposed solutions to improve the supply chain by reducing back orders.

Proposed solution reduced the cycle time from 47s to 41s.

Study of Virtual Reality Induced Symptoms and Side Effects

Used design of experiments (DOE) to study various effects of the virtual reality devices (oculus rift / gaming device) on a human body.

Used various statistical tools, including Minitab, to show the presence of dizziness, nausea, blurred vision after a certain use of the Virtual Reality instruments.

Product development for Human Powered Treadmill (WePower)

Product development was carried out for Human Powered Treadmill using the technology of Piezoelectric crystals for power generation.

Benchmarking on customer needs was done using Kano model, KJ affinity model and Quality Function Deployment (QFD).

Studied various published papers for idea generation and to avoid copyright infringement.

Physical product development simulation was done using Solid works and assembly time was calculated using Design for Assembly (DFA).

Safety analysis was done using Design Failure Mode Effects and Analysis (DFMEA).
