• Worked
as
a
team
to
help
the
quality
department
in
Root
Cause
Analysis
for
reducing
defects
• Created
Ishikawa
or
Fishbone
diagram
to
identify
the
potential
causes
of
the
failure
• Created
a
user interface to
enter teardown
data
and
a
database to
store it, this reduced the
Non- Value Added
Time
by
30%
and
made
data
entry
mistake
proof.
• Created
a
program to
plot
Pie charts,
Pareto
and
Trend charts to show the
occurrence frequency
of the failure
modes
and
the
evolution
of
the
process
with
time. Manufacturing

to
95.8%
•
Introduced 5S techniques and visual control measures in the
machining shop floor and set the path for continuous
improvement
•
Established
PFMEA
for
a

work
with
the
quality
department in
minimizing
the
rejection
rate
of
main
shafts in Gear
box
assembly
by
implementing
the
Six
Sigma
DMAIC
methodology.
• Conducted
a
detailed
study
of
the
machining
process
to
identify
the
key
process
variables
• Performed
Multiple
Regression
Analysis
to
obtain
the
significant
variables
that
affects
the
quality
of
shafts
• Implemented
the
corrections,
developed
an
improved
Standard
Operating
Procedure
and
successfully minimized
the
defective
rate
of
the
main
shafts
from
26%
to
4%
• Reviewed
PPAP
ducuments
and
APQP
procedures
of
the
supplier. ACADEMIC
