I NSTRUCT IONAL ASSISTANT
• Assisted M BA Graduate students to build business models, analyse complex data using various
E xcel-based tools and add-ins, most importantly interpret the economic value of the solutions.
• Performed r isk analysis, Linear and non-linear optimization, data analytics and forecasting of
business models using Stat Tools.

OF OF ON
• Performed t ime study to optimize method of sharing steady rests on multiple lathes, reducing
waiting time for lathe operators and t ransportation between buildings.
• Developed part families based on From-To Chart (Part Routing) and performed P-Q-$-R Analysis to
i dentify High volume – H igh Revenue and Low Volume - High Revenue i tems.
• Implemented a scheduling board to t rack the Work-In-Progress (WIP) and to assign jobs based on
machine and steady rest availability, thereby reducing the WIP to 8 from 12 for a part family.
• Identified shortcomings in the current facility and suggested improvement to reduce non-value
added activit ies, high t raffic in material handling aisle, cross-f lows, and back-t racking in part f low.
• Proposed Lean manufacturing and 5S principles to reduce changeover time, improve workflow and
for maximum utilization of the workforce and improved Line of Sight efficiency by 12%.

I NVENTORY L OCAT ION ANALYST, I N TERN
• Analysed statistical data of more than 3000 i tems and performed ABC data analysis to interpret
usage t rends, inventory tu rns, and to adjust the stock through PAR level management.
• I ntegrated A BC analysis and Pareto principle with the subject matter expertise of clinicians to
effectively locate the surgical supplies thereby increasing the staff productivity, efficiency and
workflow by reducing search and wait t imes for ordered i tems.
• Implemented new room design with real-time locating system (RLTS) to automate and reduce
i nventory.
• Utilized K anban and high density racking to provide logisticians with improved supply
replenishment processes as well as ease of locating at Point-of-use (POU) for nurses/clinicians.
• Coordinated w ith senior project planner and logistics staff to ensure the project progress t racker
reflects the t rue progress of work accomplished.

D ESIGN F OR ASSEMBLY ( DFA) ANALYSIS F OR B ASE C LA MP
• Performed Design for Assembly ( DFA) analysis and designed the base clamp with PTC Creo
Parametric 3.0 to calculate the operational t ime, cost and design efficiency.
• Re-designed t he base clamp, reduced the number of parts from 12 to 7 and showed up to 11%
i ncrease in design efficiency.
• Calculated position tolerance with GD&T for location control and assigned the required fits.
