February 2012 - July 2012

Assistant Quality Assurance Engineer

. Responsible for addressing daily shop floor concerns of manufacturing

processes in Body Shop.

. Conducted QCRT (Quick Concern Resolution Team) meetings to determine the

root cause of the problem by involving related departments and team

members.

. Maintained and updated corrective actions, reports of the QCRT meetings.

. Led a team of 2 Team leaders and 6 associates at MVML for the quality

assurance of the manufactured Body in white (BIW), and coordinated with

the vendor for the evaluation of the supply quality.

. Analyzed CMM inspection reports and checking fixture reports for the

complete truck body assembly and individual assemblies for the

nonconforming parts.

. Conducted internal 5S audit, production and process audits such as Tear

down, Torque audit, CMM inspection, Final buy off and maintained

engineering documents for the same.

. Controlled the Bill of Materials, Part numbers, Product manual and

Product inserts in a fast paced working environment.

. Wrote and updated Systematic Operating Procedure (SOP) of checking

fixture inspection for individual sheet metal body parts for the

standardization and improvement of the quality systems.

. Supported manufacturing and quality operations for design changes and

prototype building and testing

. Gained direct exposure to the assembly process flow and manufacturing

processes of the body shop, Trim, Chassis and Final Line.

Major projects:

. Improved CSI (Customer satisfaction index) in MVML through QCRT

meetings.

. The minor concerns of the Body shop were solved through online

inspection which improved CSI by 4 %.

. The major concerns were proposed for higher level QCRT where decision

regarding implementation of Poka yoke system were taken and improved CSI

by 7%.

. The Poka yoke system was designed and implemented on assembly fixture of

a door to prevent use of an out of tolerance hinge samples supplied from

the vendor in the door assembly.

. Designed Poka yoke system resulted in the reduction of time in the final

buy off inspection and repair time, which minimized the inspection time

by 5 seconds.

Relevant academic projects: Ohio University, Athens, OH

Research Work - Thesis: Quantify and improve the accuracy of stiffness

measurements of cancellous bone from porcine mandibular condyle.

. Developed linear finite element (FE) models of cancellous bone cube

specimens by to measure the stiffness.

. The stiffness estimated from FE models is validated by calculating the

stiffness of the same bone specimens by performing compression test at a

small strain of 0.6% using (MTS) testing machine.

. Detailed investigation of the errors associated with FE and experimental

methods was carried out to improve the agreement of stiffness

measurements.

Study project: Impact strength analysis of an automobile fender using ALGOR

multiphysics finite element program

. Study project of Impact strength of the Plastic fenders used in the

automobiles were compared for the light collisions with steel fenders.

. Designed automobile plastic and steel fender in UNIGRAPHICS NX 8.5, and

tested for deformations with different load conditions by performing

simulations in ALGOR.

. Outcome: Plastic fenders showed maximum elastic recovery from the

deformations resulted in light collisions, enhanced resistance against

minor impact, and reduced weight as compared to steel

Pune University, Pune, MH, INDIA: Bachelor of Engineering

Senior design Project: Manpower reduction and the productivity improvement

in the carburetor pin pressing assembly.

. Improvement in the productivity of the carburetor pin pressing operation

was achieved by designing a new load frame and modifying the pneumatic

pressing machine.

. The design and drafting of the load frame was done in CATIA V5.

. Outcome: The production cycle time was reduced by 5 seconds. Saving in

the cost of one machine, operator and space on the shop floor for the

required high production was successfully achieved.
