Key Projects & Simulations

Supply Chain - Demand Forecasting Fall 2014 and spring 2015

Preprocessed Divvy API data and Share market data and derived problem based datasets using R and Excel

Identified the Demand pattern through Seasonality and Trend Analysis of the time based demand

Modelled demand and clusters of volatility through Holt’s, ARIMA and GARCH models

SCM Globe Simulations Fall 2014

Designed supply chain models for different case studies and simulated the models to arrive at optimum lead times that had positive effect on the cost of goods.

Bearing Fault Diagnostics Fall 2014

Analyzed time series vibration data for Bearing Fault Diagnostics

Classified and Identified bearing faults using predictive algorithms such as ANN, KNN and FFT in MATLAB

Operations Research Fall 2014

Converted complex engineering problems to simple mathematical problems and designed constraints to take into account external factors.

Arrived at solutions for these problems using advanced MS-Excel and customized programs in R.

Quality Control - Textiles Process Capability Analysis Fall 2013

Analyzed stability of Simplex and Drawing Units using X-bar charts of the Uster Percent

Performed capability analysis to check for improvement from year 2012 to 2013

Identified and reported the key changes that had negative effect on the Process Capability, which was avoided in the future leading to improved production rate.

Process Virtual Simulation Fall 2013

Developed virtual environments for simulating models, including liquid level control system, automated parking system using Cosmo Worlds, MATLAB and VRML Simulink models

All the models were created using CAD packages and converted to other formats using Design Studios.
