Summary of Qualification
Undergraduate Project:
Worked with Disaster management and made a kit that contained ECG, Spo2, and temperature sensor in one briefcase that can be carried easily to the Disaster affected areas. The kit will provide efficient first aid to the people in need and will help saving lives. Keeping in mind the advancements that can be done within the kit are as following:
Solar power based power supply
Modalities such as NIBP, Defibrillator etc
Wireless Data Transfer
Graduate Project:
Six Sigma Project - “American Empire Manufacturing”
Provided packaging and filling solutions for various industries. AEM have patented a snap-tip tube for unit dose filling. Manufacturing companies such as AEM must constantly improve to keep up with demand in the market.
Problem Description:
Exact amount filled is not closely monitored
Majority are between the USL and the median
This reduces the overall efficiency of the process
Maximum possibility for product failure due to leakage because of more liquid fill
Only considering one generic product for this project
Conclusion:
Application of DMAIC to reduce overfilling
Thorough description of the DMAIC analysis can be found in the report
Lessons Learned:
There are many factors that affect the efficiency of a process
Six Sigma is a great tool to improve process Quality
