PROJECTS

Automated Fastening Analysis for BMW March 2014

Checked the consistency of existing automated torqueing process for sunroof assembly using SPC tools like control

charts and capability studies.

Analysed the process dependency in Minitab using control charts, capability studies, scatter plots, time series plots,

co-relation and paired-t tests.

Performed Process Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (PFMEA), Value Stream Mapping and Root Cause Analysis

and recommended changes to reduce defects.

Re-Design of an Automotive Centre Console using Design for Manufacturing Oct 2013

Collaborated with a team of three students to analyse Centre Console of a n automobile to compute relative tooling

construction cost, total relative mold cost and total relative cycle time.

Redesigned the console in CATIA using DFM principles to reduce tooling & mold cost and cycle time.

Reduced total cycle time by 35%.

Re-Design of a Water Gauge using Design for Assembly Sept 2013

Analysed undergraduate project ‘Water gauge’ based on Boothroyd and Dewhurst DFA method.

Conducted redesign to reduce the total number of components, assembly time and increase efficiency of assembly.

Reduced assembly time by 65% and number of parts by 62%.

Design of Automotive Exhaust Muffler Aug 2012 - May 2013

Led a group of three students to study the effect of change in geometry of Muffler in its design efficiency .

Conducted the modal analysis in ANSYS to avoid resonating of muffler.

Analysed the Fluid flow using SolidWorks to reduce the back pressure.

Design and Manufacturing of an All Terrain Vehicle for BAJA SAE May 2011 - Feb 2012

Modelled Wheel hubs, Wishbones and Engine Mounts in CATIA and performed Static Structural Analysis in ANSYS.

Manufactured and assembled the components in a group of 22 students.
