Industrial
Experience:
Brooks Engineering Dec2013-March2014
Student Intern
• Incorporated techniques of 5S, and JIT(Just In Time) in the production line
• Placed suggestions to increase cash flow by reducing inventory
• Studied and documented randomly inspected samples to make sure they matched ISO 9001:2008 standards
• Conducted a Time Study to ensure all work process took place within a specified standard time
• Suggested SMED techniques such as installment of overhanging tools to reduce lead time and internal setup time.
• Implemented techniques of Visual Control in the assembly line
Adwaith Lakshmi Industries Aug2012-Aug2013
Continuous Improvement Intern
• Worked with Lean tools like Fishbone Diagram and PDCA to identify problems and find solutions for
development a new product called Rotational Bobbin Holders
• Used methods like Poka-Yoke to make sure the Bobbin Holders do not fail when the Ring-Frame is operating
• Used Microsoft Excel to document available inventory, part specifications, and process related function to make
sure data was readily available for quality audits and to allocate funds for continuous improvement projects
• Encouraged manufacturing shop floors to detail record wastes during raw material usage, this suggestion helped to
reduce the production cost by 1.8%
• Documented cycle times and used Statistical Regression Analysis (Minitab) to eliminate bottleneck and reduce
lead time, this helped to increase productivity and reduced non-value added labor
Surabaya Hyundai Training Institute Mar2102-june2012
Summer Intern
Collected previous years data of vehicle recalls due to non-conformities in the powertrain and suggested the usage
•
RFID tags so only specific batches were recalled.

•
Carefully inspected the PPAP checklist and reports of suppliers and made sure they were updated regularly, also
•
made sure those components matched ISO/TS16949 standards
Academic
Projects:
Productivity Improvement in a Manufacturing Unit Through Line Balancing
Wayne State University
• The objective of the project was to improve the productivity of the organization by identifying the bottleneck
station and using lean techniques (kanban) to reduce the cycle time by 2.8%
• Proposed the company to use Three bin system not only to reduce inventory but also to ensure continuity of
production process
• Kaizen techniques were used to make continuous improvements on the assembly line to reduce non-value added
activities
A Case Study on Defects Reduction in a Rubber Gloves Manufacturing Process by Applying Six Sigma Principles
Wayne State University
• Identified the root cause of the defects through collection of data
• Used DMAIC problem solving methodology to reduce the number of defects occurring in the gloves
• Improved the quality of the gloves produced from 2.4 Sigma Level to 3.1 Sigma Level
Farm Field Optimization
Wayne State University
• Worked on a Farm Model that included optimization techniques used in the field of agriculture to generate
maximum yield and profit for the farmers
• Developed and implemented resourceful time optimization techniques that can be applied in the real world
Fabrication of Fail Proof Bobbin Holders
Adwaith Lakshmi Industries
• Worked towards producing a cost efficient product (Bobbin Holders) that provided an easy installment on the
Mother Ring-Frame
• Made sure the Bobbin Holders were highly fail-safe and ensured continuous operation of the Ring Frame
• Proposed to setup a plastic recycling unit to reuse and recycle the outer shell of the worn out bobbin holders
Design and Fabrication of A Motorized Wheel Chair
Anna University
• Worked on a project that included fabrication of a fully Motorized wheel chair to suit the needs of the disabled
• Used Pro/E for designing the basic skeleton of the wheel chair and worked as a team with students from the
Electronics department to fix the programmed Adrino board to wheel chair
• Started the process from scrap by creating a project timeline and recorded all improvements from start date
• Conducted an FMEA study on various parts and minor components to document them for future references and
continuous improvements.
