PROJECTS.

Quality Management Project-Pinewood derby vehicle design. Aug 2016-Dec 2016

Initiated business plan layout and bill of materials (BOM) for the project. Designed and built pinewood derby car model and conducted various quality test.

Conducted FMEA, drop and impact testing, created balanced scorecard and performed validation, statistical analysis and EOL test.

Used Lean methodologies and 6Sigma tools and techniques like 5S, Design of Experiments (DOE), GaugeR&R, Poka- Yoke, QFD, Kaizen and TQM to design a quality system and created a quality manual that is compliant to the ISO 9001:2008 standard.

Engineering Project Management-Apartment Complex. Jan 2016-May 2016

Developed a project charter and a scope statement for the project. Built detailed project schedule, Work Breakdown Structure, resource allocation plan, comprehensive project budget, risk report, and audits reports while actively tracking the project’s Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) using SPC tools and by following DMAIC methodology.

The project simulation was done by using MS Project software and we also used some conventional project management tools like critical path method, top-down budgeting, variance analysis, earned value analysis for successful completion.
