PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Summer Project, Ellicott Food Court, UB Campus Dining and Shops, Buffalo, NY (April 2013 –

September 2013)

• Developed and Implemented process control techniques and suggested improvements in SOP’s and machines

• Detailed study of FDA regulations for the fast food industry; used Lean Tool Kit and implemented CI strategies

Volunteering Intern, Swami Samarth Engineering, Mumbai, India (December 2010 – February

2011)

• Mapped plant cell layout & used VSM to identify critical delays in the production using lean principles & OEE

to eliminate bottlenecks

• Analyzed manufacturing processes & plant layout and used MOST to conduct time & motion studies; reducing

the setup time by 40%

• Applied DOE & ANOVA tools to analyze significant factors causing laser failures & proposed corrective and

preventive actions

• Led and Executed PPAP, APQP activities, product audit and supplier quality assurance process

Engineering Intern, Dembla Valves, Mumbai, India (May 2010 – August 2010)

• Investigated valve failures and reviewed PFMEA’s, flow charts, daily failure reports and build folders to filter the

root causes

• Led cross functional project teams on quality issues and standard Kaizen projects using VPS tools like PDCA,

CAR, 8D and SPC

• Implementing Lean Six Sigma and Visual Control on the shop floor for lead time and waste reduction

• Utilized DMAIC procedure to determine & improve the parameters of inefficient process of assembly line

• Performed internal 5S audits of the plant saving 25% of time & Improvement in workplace design leading to

reduced material flow

Volunteering Intern, Ajit Engineering, Mumbai, India (May 2009 – August 2009)

• Identified reasonable performance parameters, measured and monitored KPIs and generated monthly

performance reports

• Led team towards achieving ISO/TS certification for the supply chain business, maintained QMS (Quality

Management System)

PROJECTS

Six Sigma Project-Reduced cycle time and introduced process stability at ‘Meals on Wheels’ Buffalo, NY

(Fall 2011)

• Used process flow charts & value stream analysis & successfully implemented the DMAIC approach

• Improved the process flow reducing the lead time from 22 to 6 days; Extensive use of six sigma tools like KPV’s

& SPC

Quality Assurance- Optimizing process factors (Spring 2012)

• Performed linearity & bias studies and Gauge R & R. Created fractional factorial design of experiment and

optimized it using RSM

• Also performed an appropriate SPC to monitor and control the implementation

Production Planning & Control: (Fall 2012)

• Studied transition from VANTAGE to SAP in a company specializing in helical gear boxes.

• Performed ‘Winters method for forecasting’, ‘Silver Meal & Least unit cost models for Inventory’ and ‘Lot

sizing with capacity constraints’ for batch sizing optimization and proved to give better ROI in the long run.

Lean Enterprise (Spring 2013)

• Optimized an industrial problem regarding changeover (SMED, Kanbans, OEE, Takt time, Line Balancing), to

provide the best ROI

• Developed labor cost analysis and prioritized layouts based on economic constraints eventually leading to cost

reduction.

Time-Motion Study (Spring 2010)

• Improved production line cycle time by reducing rework & setup times, improving operator efficiency,

establishing labor standards

• Increase in labor productivity and decrease in unused working times with the use of process maps and Time-

motion studies (MOST)

LEADERSHIP SKILLS

• Member of the advisory committee of FOMES in B.E (2010-11) {currently acting}

• Organized National Conference for Recent Trends in Mechanical Engineering 2010 (NCRTME’10)

• Youngest Cultural Secretary to organize Milestone 2010 (annual cultural event)

• VP of Indian Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers (ISHRAE) DMCE Students

Chapter, Mumbai

• General Secretary and Treasurer of Forum of Mechanical Engineering Students in T.E (2009-10) & S.E (2008-

09) respectively

• Youngest General Secretary for India Association of Buffalo(Indian Community in Buffalo; Non-profit

Organization - 2012-13)
