• Participated as required in support of Engineering Change Notices (ECN) and Engineering Change Request (ECR).

• Worked on PFMEA to identify risks as a part of APQP process for process design and development. (Poka-Yoke)

• Used Merlin ERP to correlate between production, sales level and inventory levels to track and maintain the data-inventory.

• Prepared reports on detected Non-Conformance (NCR) in process by MRB software which helped applying permanent corrective actions (PCA’s) pertaining to internal and external quality of products.

• Edited and updated BOM (bill of material) of component/piece price by Merlin Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP).

• Developed Control plan and performed MSA on measurement equipment which used during quality control checks as a part of PPAP documentation requirements.

• Investigated and determined root cause(s) for quality rejections. (5 why, 8D, Fish bone).

• Participated in APQP Project Team & the new Product Development/Quoting Team.

• Used Statistical Process Control (SPC) to produce Conforming Product by using Control charts and Cause & Effect diagrams.

• Mastered in the production of digital printing products and other services such as high quality, precision, speed, and fast service with maximum efficiency and reliability by participating in FMEA team.

• Applied Lean Manufacturing tools to identify non-value-added activities.

• Used GD&T to make sure that all customer specification requirements are being met

• Implemented Lean Line Design (LLD) of the final inspection area which involves creating standard work procedures, visual inspection methods, balancing time, and overall improving the layout of the area to create one-piece flow.

• Used 8D problem solving approach and performed root cause analysis using 5 Whys for the rejected pieces of digital prints

• Took part in DMAIC methodology to implement continuous improvement for production of printing products. Manufacturing Engineer, Precision Cutting Tool, Santa Fe Springs, California June - August 2017

• Co-ordinated with customers & internal departments to establish team feasibility for New Product Developments.

• Assisted in the off-line design 3D prototyping and programming with design department using (AutoCAD & Solid Works).

• Updated CNC programming by using G-M codes-Fanuc Technology with right tooling and fixtures for Endmills-Drills.

• Worked on customer special tool design proposal in AutoCAD with National Aeronautic Standard & 986 Specifications

• Finalised 2D/3D drawings with dimensions of parts, material to be machined (High Carbide) and PVD coating material.

• Analysed standard/previously used dies, tools, fixtures, cutting wheels and suggested design modifications for production.

• Applied preventive maintenance by dressing wheels, calibrating alignments, checking coolant flow and clearances.

• Developed 3D models with thermal, stress, strain analysis in Inventor to analyse factors effecting to design prototype.

• Prepared charts, tables, graphs, tolerances, technical instructions, modification, and dimensions for clear identification.

• Inspected finished Endmills/drills by verifying dimensions/tolerances with scope, micrometres, gauges, optical comparators.

• Developed methods which allow generating, editing, validating, and animating assembly sequences and 3D CAD models. Manufacturing Engineer, Aditya Birla, India May 2013 - December 2015

• Trained in Total Quality Management, 5-S, Kaizen and World-Class Manufacturing systems (ISO 9001:2000)
