Summary

Master's in Industrial engineering with core concentration in Operations Research and Supply Chain Management Certified Green Belt in Six Sigma

Experience in process improvements, inventory control, procurement, data analytics and project management Education

Wayne State University

Masters in Industrial Engineering: GPA 3.75 /4.0 Expected Grad: May 2016 Sri Krishna College of Engineering and Technology, Coimbatore Bachelors in Engineering-Mechanical - First Class with Distinction: CGPA 3.8/4.0 Grad: April 2014 Internship Experience

Engineering Intern at Sree Raam Enterprises, Coimbatore May 2014 – Jul 2014

Analyzed the current S&OP process (0-24 months) and identified key issues/communication gaps

High Wk-Wk variance (10-15% within firm window) and Month-Month variance (15-20% in the 3-24 months window) leading to material expedites, high inventory and SC costs

Implemented 5 step S&OP Process (NPI, Demand Review, Supply Process, Finance Review and Executive Meeting) to reduce variability within the Master Production Schedule and frozen period

Developed KPIs (Forecast accuracy/variance, Production plan adherence, Order fill rates, Delivery reliability, Order fulfillment lead time, supplier performance metrics, etc) to track performance

Implemented a governance structure & cadence to fix accountability (RACI charts)

Identified opportunities totaling $94,000 in cost reduction and ~$72,000 in inventory reduction, by limiting demand/order changes to 5% inside planning window and no violation inside frozen schedule Intern at Broadway Engineering, Coimbatore Jan 2014 – Apr 2014

Analyzed the current order to delivery process for manufacturing pumps

Assisted in setting up and monitoring the S&OP process, MPS and capacity planning

Generated MPS build schedule by simulating and balancing line for 35 days considering labor & line capacity constraints

Identified root causes and reduced production schedule variations by 12%, resulting in cost savings of $0.2M and order to delivery lead time reduction by 20% (~4 days) Projects

Reducing Non Value Added Activity in Operations through Kitting Apr 2015 – Jul 2015

Identified operator cycle time as a major waste through Pareto Analysis, 5 Why's and 8D techniques

Proposed Kitting technique as a solution to reduce the operator waste walk by incorporating 5S, 3M, Poka- Yoke and value stream mapping techniques

Developed a value stream map to show the current and future state of the process thereby reducing the lead time by 3%

Defects Reduction in Rubber Gloves Manufacturing Process- Green Belt Jan 2015 – Apr 2015

Implemented DMAIC problem solving methodology to identify the root cause of the problem, analyze and develop a solution to reduce the production of defective gloves

Proposed implementation of 5S, Gemba, Kaizen tools in course of the project Prithivi Krishna Jayapathy

Set an expected sigma level from 2.1 sigma to 3.2 sigma level Optimization of Transportation(Shipping) and Scheduling Operations of an Enterprise Aug 2014 – Dec 2014

Developed a Non-Linear Programming model to minimize the transportation costs and optimize the work force schedule

Solved the model using Microsoft Excel to obtain the optimized route and schedule.

Reduced the transportation cost by identifying the optimized route and completed a proper scheduling, thus reducing the cost by $74,000 per annum

Design & Fabrication of Automatically Controlled Stacking Module Jun 2013 – Apr 2014

Developed a sensor less vibrator for stacking of asymmetric brake pads and designed the system using CATIA v5R19 software

Automated the entire system to minimize human interference based on human ergonomics

Performed time study and work study of the automated system to analyze the complete process and developed a regression model using Minitab software to explain the process.

Implemented lean techniques to the system by drafting a VSM chart using Microsoft Visio software thereby reducing lead time for the entire process by 106 s Design & Fabrication of All Terrain Vehicle- Baja SAE India Aug 2012 – Feb 2013

Captain of the team of 25 members and Group Captain of Transmission System

Designed and assembled the entire transmission system using CATIA v5R19 software and simulated it using ADAMS software

Conducted FMEA, implemented lean techniques during the course of fabrication and developed DVP&R for the vehicle

Identified available resources, maintained required inventory and allocated resources at the right time to complete the project in time at a budget of $8600 against an allocated budget of $10000 Technical Skills

Operating System: Windows XP/7/8

Packages: Microsoft Office (Access, Excel, PowerPoint, Word & Visio),Supply Chain Guru, GAMS,QM Solver, AutoCAD, CATIA V5, Minitab, Arena, ADAMS and Basics of SAP Plan of Work

Production Systems, Fundamentals of Six Sigma, Project Management, Facilities Design and Material Flow, Supply Chain Management, Engineering Risk & Decision Analysis and Engineering Logistics Responsibilities Undertaken

Captain, BAJA 2013 Team: Participated in the finals of the National Level All -Terrain Vehicle Contest

Senior-Chairperson and Student Advisor of the Technical Committee of SAE INDIA SKCET Collegiate Club for the academic year 2013-14, Coimbatore

Chairperson, SAE INDIA SKCET COLLEGIATE CLUB for the academic year 2012-13, Coimbatore Achievements

Participated in BAJA SAE INDIA 2013, a National Level Design and Fabrication of ATV competition conducted at NATRAX, Indore and secured 19th place in India and 1st place in Coimbatore zone

Won II prize for paper on IMAGE PROCESSING USING FOURIER TRANSFORMS at Mathrix 2011, Anna University, Chennai
