ACADEMIC PROJECTS

Reducing number of false alarms using Six Sigma at Dow Chemical Company, University of Houston

Studied and analyzed the process flow of triggering false alarms.

Used various lean six sigma DMAIC tools to carry out process improvements to reduce the defects in the modules.

Successfully reduce the number of false alarms triggered by 46 over the production period, resulting in savings of $7,360 or more and at least 60% of reduction in down time.

Optimization of Process mapping at Center for Academic Support and Assessment, University of Houston

Collected real life data and modeled appropriate distributions to analyze the trends using simulation techniques.

Considered the various factors that affect the Testing center, simulated the work place scenario using SIMIO.

Implemented changes utilizing lean concepts and utilized SIMIO to demonstrate the improvement findings.

Implementation of Lean and Six Sigma in water sector utilities management, University of Houston, Houston

By using various quality tools like 5S, Root-Cause analysis, Fish bone diagram, Pareto charts and statistical data analysis the wastes in the water sector are reduced and other implements were suggested.

By using lean and six sigma methodologies, improvements were suggested to water sector utilities management.
