Magneti Marelli, Sanford, NC May 2015 – Aug 2015

Enhanced process efficiency in assembly lines by conducting time studies and improving OEE’s to facilitate production increase.

Reduced in-process defects by 20% in Die casting and machining of throttle bodies.

Utilized both Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) to properly diagnose issues with machines and parts.

Assisted Autonomous Maintenance and Preventive Maintenance teams in improving standard practices for the WCM bronze level audit.

Implemented a standardized system for parts withdrawal from the parts crib and standardized maintenance parts for machining centers.

WORK EXPERIENCE

Tool / Process Engineer

Toyota Kirloskar Auto Parts Pvt. Ltd, Bangalore, India Dec 2012 – June 2014

Standardized the selection of tools and process parameters for various gear manufacturing operations.

Achieved 95% Tool localization and their implementation with interaction from various suppliers.

As a part of Kaizen activity, Conducted machine and process capability studies to reduce cycle time and tool life improvement trials (On an average, achieved a 30% increase in tool life) for the existing production lines.

Improved OEE’s by identifying chronic issues during actual production and provided quick support to manufacturing to reduce downtimes and rejects.

Planned and implemented ECO’s which included changes to around 25 machines within a short time span.

In charge of tool & gage planning and their procurement for trials (project activity) and regular production.

Developed process controls, new programs and conducted trials for new parts for various machining centers as a part of project activity.

Designed and fabricated tool holders and various tooling supports for machining centers based on the process requirements.

Involved in annual tooling budget documentation, maintenance of tool drawings, layouts & process flows.

Provided process engineering support to vendors in selecting suitable tools and gages for automotive components.

ACADEMIC PROJECTS

Ball bar test simulation using MATLAB

Simulated ball bar experiment (To determine the positioning performance) using MATLAB for a 3 axis Vertical Machining center.

Used time domain setup to consider the non-linearity of the system, transients in the corners and errors due to unequal gains to identify contouring errors.

Formula SAE

Part of an 18 member team which participated in FSAE, Michigan in 2010.

Worked on the suspension and braking system for the car and carried out comprehensive testing for the components.

Additional responsibility of manufacturing certain components in-house to reduce the overall costs.
