RE: Resume and Cover letter

Attn: Plant Manager / Human Resources

I am an engineer / manager with 23 years InternationaL experience in the

field of engineering management, manufacturing, industrial engineering,

sales and plant maintenance.

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering with honors and some

graduate study in MBA at Belk School of Business at UNCC, Charlotte. I have

SIX SIGMA Greenbelt Certification.

I was last employed as SENIOR PROCESS ENGINEER with BSN Medical Inc - JOBST

at Rutherford College NC, a German-Swedish multinational, which is one of

the world leaders in manufacture of Class I and Class II medical devices

for VASCULAR therapy, Orthopedics, Compression Therapy and Wound care. I

have successfully demonstrated process and machine design improvements in

the plant. I have played a leading role in implementing capital equipment

projects. Using Six Sigma and Lean Manufacturing principles I have

demonstrated tremendous cost savings and process improvements. I have

undertaken technology transfer projects with overseas European machinery

vendors to modernize and streamline current manufacturing procedures. I

have showed expertise in machine design to increase productivity as

compared to market competition. I have played a very contributing role as

an internal FDA / ISO auditor. In conjunction with the QA / QC staff I have

done validations, IQ, OQ and PQ for capital machinery and process change. I

am a member of Safety Steering Committee. I have played major role in

design and innovation activity with R&D. Being a member of the plant

budgeting committee I have experience in cost accounting and budgeting. I

supervise design and layout drawings in AutoCAD. I have extensive knowledge

and training in robotics, machine design, electrical controls, process

control networks, automation, software development and PLC application.

Member of Global AME consisting of operations in 7 countries.

In the previous position as Manufacturing MANAGER of Beverly Knits Inc a

leading industrial textile manufacturer in Gastonia, NC employing 160

employees, I was responsible for the entire operation of manufacturing.

During my employment the revenue of company increased 15% in two years. The

cost of manufacturing, consisting of fixed and variable cost, decreased 8%.

The employment increased by 20% and the assets consisting of plant and

machinery increased 40%. I was able to achieve success due to my experience

in the tough competitive international market. I adapted successfully to

various quality and process control principles to excel in my career. TQM,

TPM, principles of lean manufacturing and six sigma are some tools which I

have followed in my work experience. I have designed and developed software

to measure the productivity, calculate the compensation, calculate the cost

of each product and summarize the whole plant production analysis. I also

developed the software for preventive maintenance, which is unique to this

industry. I have also developed management and production software for

various industries in USA, Canada and Central/South America. In my career I

have demonstrated exceptional skills in managing staff and coordinating

activities. I have experience in office management. I possess excellent

computer skills in MS Office and various production management software.

In my job as Plant MANGER / MECHANICAL ENGINEER at Peace Textiles Inc in

Sumter, SC I was supervising the production of 600,000 lbs of fabric per

month by supervising about 50 qualified workers. I was actively involved in

the startup of the plant. This position covered all aspects of supervision

in manufacturing, training, maintenance, personnel management, quality

control, customer satisfaction, labor laws and safety practices. I was

responsible for training and supervising the production staff to operate

high speed machines and produce good quality product. I was directly

responsible for the supervision of preventive maintenance and

troubleshooting of production machinery.

In my job as MECHANICAL ENGINERR at Future Knits I was supervising the

maintenance and also supervising the production control using computers.

After graduating in first division in Mechanical Engineering from Punjab

University in India I was engaged in the worldwide sales of machinery for

about eight years. In this period I was the SALES and SERVICE ENGINEER for

KNITMACS India. In this position I was involved in supporting engineering

sales of machinery of leading manufacturers of various countries like

Japan, Korea, England, Taiwan, Germany, Italy, USA, Canada. My duties

included understanding the customer requirements, identifying the machinery

corresponding to the customer's demand and forwarding the information to

the concerned machinery manufacturer. I was involved in the quotation

process, design of the machinery and testing of the finished machinery.

Several instances required a prototype to be tested before the final

machinery was made. I was responsible for providing all specifications,

drawings, samples and documentation to the customer. I was providing lead

times and shipping information to various customers. I was fully involved

in the installation and service of the machinery at customer's location.

All warranty issues and repairs were conveyed by me to the manufacturers.

The periodic design changes and improvements were recorded by me and

forwarded to the engineering departments. I had a very well established

relationship with the customers and the parent manufacturing industries. I

had the opportunity to train with the sales and engineering staff of

various countries. I was traveling internationally for about 40% of the

time

I have extensive experience in the field of progressive manufacturing,

plant maintenance, sourcing and R&D. The manufacturing process includes

hands on experience on high speed computerized automatic textile machines

and packaging machine, high capacity pneumatic air compressors, refrigerant

type air dryers, plant humidity controls. I have experience with

microprocessor based computerized machinery controls, installation of

computerized network for process control, excellent computer skills in MS

Office, FoxPro and Visual Basic based production management software.

Being technically qualified I have extensive hands on experience and

training on various types of manufacturing machines being used all over the

world. I have helped machine manufactures to modify the machine designs in

order to obtain better efficiencies and better quality. I have extensive

knowledge of various types of machining processes, metallurgy, machine

design, machine assembly and machine electrical controls. Being qualified

in electrical controls and electronics I have designed computer controllers

and infrared scanners on machines to improve quality, reduce defects and

increase production.

From my experiences it is very evident that I have demonstrated exceptional

ability to learn quickly and adapt to different types of organizations. I

intend to approach your organization with the same dedication and

adaptability. Over a short period of time I will confidently prove my

efficiency in the assigned position.
