Projects
Feb 2014 – May 2014
Quality Control - 9 volt battery design
Conducted gauge linearity, bias and Gauge R & R study to find effectiveness of measuring device.
Designed screening fractional factorial experiment to find effect of various factors on ba ttery voltage and cost with MINITAB.
Used Method of steepest Ascent and Response Surface Methodology to optimize the 9V response.
Devised a Statistical Process Control Sampling Plan for mass production of 9V batteries.
Determined Process Capability for all critical-to-success measures.
Feb 2014 – May 2014
Application of Lean principles
A3 Problem Solving Process-
Mapped A3 for Die Bonding process in Semiconductor Industry. Successfully identified the problem, performed Fault tree
Analysis, applied FEMA, brainstormed suitable countermeasures and developed strategic Plan for implementing improved
process.
Lean Cell Design-
Analyzed Current State Map of the Product manufacturer.
Evaluated different alternative cell designs by giving weights to significant factors obtained by changing the number of
changeovers. Evaluated alternatives with economic considerations e.g. SMED implementation ( STAGE 1, STAGE 2,
STAGE 3)
Achieved 40% profit from improved cell design.
Developed a future state map and suggested additional value stream improvements.
Feb 2014 – May 2014
Logistics and Facility decisions
Used the Router module in LOGWARE to make transportation decisions for a distribution management firm.
Developed a Periodic review Policy plan for inventory control of Complete Hardware Supply Inc.
Optimized the location of Warehouses using MULTICOG and TRANLP in LOGWARE.

Design and Analysis of Experiment Aug 2013 - Dec 2013
Aimed at introducing a new cake mix in the market that produces a moister cake than the current “super -moist” version of
the competitor using statistical software (Minitab)
Applied experimentation techniques like randomization, blocking for Hypothesis testing and Anova.
Used Minitab 16 to find the proper settings required in a pharmaceutical company so as the medicine developed had less
than 50 mg of by-product in each batch of 100 gm.
Developed Screening experiments, treatment designs and Regression An alysis to find most effective factor settings.
Operation scheduling at Moog Inc. Aug 2013 - Dec 2013
Studied the operation scheduling methods and software used at Moog Inc. to schedule its workers and compared them with
standard methods of scheduling
Analyzed the flaws and errors in the current method of scheduling and suggested solutions to rectify them.
