and optimization. Plant material flow optimization and minimization of aisle
congestion using AutoCAD Factory Flow and A utoMod. Initiated, created and
developed Plant Performance Analysis in Real Time (PPART) (a GM ROI) .
o Worked with a team at GM R&D on the project - Predictive Modeling of Machining Line Variation
(Patent US 200******** A1) using FEA for machine station error prediction and Weibull analysis
of the station level errors to statistically predict feature quality. A multistage machining process
includes a plurality of stations. The method for predicting feature quality in workpieces is
determining workpiece feature errors. This comprises of decomposing each machining station
into generic machining process steps and determining workpiece errors at each generic
machining process step based on the sources of variation uniquely related to the respective
generic machining process step. Variations in workpiece feature errors influence part reliability
o Managed and supervised a team of engineers and technicians at Orion Assembly plant in its
implementation providing reliability and logistics support for new vehicle lunch by performing
reliability engineering and statistical data analysis activities using Failure Modes, Effects,
Criticality Analysis (FMECA) approach
Managed and supervised a team of software programmers in developing a
o
code for optimal line design (OPTLine). OPTLine integrates line balancing,
machine selection and buffer sizing with throughput and WIP.
