Graduate Engineer Trainee, Quality. : (July 2011 – Dec 2012) Kohler Co., Aurangabad, India

Problem Solving and Root Cause Analysis of Field failures, Engine Assembly, Testing and Non-conformance observed at User Plant by using Problem Solving Tools such as 5-Why Analysis, Seven QC Tools.

Root Cause Analysis and Preparations of Action Plan on Customer complaints, User plant concerns, Field Failure concerns and CAPA for the same.

Worked with internal cross functional teams for resolving product defects in Engine testing&"0" km issues.

Member of VRT (Variability reduction team) for solving the problems in field, buy off, engine testing and assembly line.

Resolved daily quality issues on engine assembly line as part of continuous improvement process.

Prepared 8D and 3A reports for quality issues.

Worked with supplier quality team for PPAP.

Conducted engine performance tests like OC test, Endurance tests. PROJECTS

Less Power in single Cyl. Gasoline engine

Identified various causes by using analysis tools and implemented corrective actions; Member of cross functional team.

Impact of actions was significant & less power rejection reduced to zero.

Oil leakage problem in single Cyl Diesel engine

Key member of cross functional team, arranged brain storming sessions to grab new ideas from co Engineers & Managers.

Found out root causes & implemented action plans.

Studied the problems associated with scratches on phone screen and proposed solutions using SIX SIGMA principles.

Done Time Study project by conducting experiments for two different methods of stopwatch direct time study namely snapback-timing method & continuous-timing method. The task was divided into work element and then the experiment was conducted & time was noted.

Successfully done simulation project on silicon wafers production facility to optimise throughput by identifying and eliminating bottlenecks in the system using Witness 14.

Project done on “Cryogenic treatment on tool steel”. Studied the change in behaviour of Tool steel (AISI D2 grade generally preferred for precision instrument).
