PROJECTS

Reducing Labor Costs in Manufacturing Plant using DMAIC Jan’15- april’15

The plant hired additional labor from 3rd parties as a cost effective method which rather proved expensive.

By using problem solving tools, we identified the root cause and decreased the operating costs.

Tools used: PFMEA, Fish Bone Diagram, Minitab, Pareto charts and time series plots.

Simulation Planning on Material Requirement Planning and Support System (MRP-DSS) April’14

Used excel tool to increase the profitability of selling two products alpha and beta which had varying weekly demand.

Initial demand was filled from inventory on-hand and backorders were strategically placed to replenish shortage.

Statistical Analysis for Mileage Of Three Cars Jan’14-May’14

Data collection plan was designed to capture average miles of Ford Focus, Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic.

T-test and Anova test were performed using MINITAB to understand and analyze the distributions.

The average MPG for Honda Civic proved to be the highest with 95% confidence.

Application of Value Engineering in Enhancing Value of Automobile Actuator Assembly May’14-July’14

Enhanced the value of the actuator assembly by simplifying the design, yet performing the same functions.

Value methodology steps were implemented using Benchmarking, functional analysis, FAST diagram, Brainstorming, T-charts, Prioritizing matrix.

Project Management Paper on “Importance of Time Management For a Competitive project” July’14

Performed a case study and analyzed the root cause failures for timely delivery of projects by managers.

Identified successful techniques, strategies and steps to develop a time management process.

Investigations on Welded Dissimilar Boiler Tubes Jan’13-May’13

Examined the characteristic behavior of widely used boiler tubes AISI 306 AND AISI 316 in the thermal power plant.

Presented a paper at The International Conference for Materials and Advanced Technologies-Singapore.
