Professional Experience

Industrial Engineer (Continuous Improvement) Intern

Pottorff, Inc Fort Worth, Texas December

2015 May 2016

Designed and developed the first assembly production schedule tool for the HVAC industry using Lean

techniques, which balanced the line automatically with required labor, workstations and drop-off rate based on

the product. Increased productivity up to 15% with the new scheduling and sequencing process

Implemented lean methods to reduce waste, designed non-conformance zones & process, performed

CAPA investigations including Root Cause Analysis (5 Why, Fishbone) to identify the source of problem

during every Kaizen meeting

One of the key players in implementing the Single Piece Flow methodology

Made a Value-Stream map which depicted value added, non-value added and auxiliary waste in the

process line

Developed a new material picking chart for the aluminium extrusion louver line and eliminated errors

in material picking

Re-designed the layout of 2 major product lines Louvers and Ceiling Fire Damper

Performed calculations with Industrial Engineers such as labor cost savings, time savings, takt time,

productivity, payback period, productivity gain per year for making decisions such as purchasing new

machinery

Industrial Engineer Intern

Pottorff, Inc Fort Worth, Texas June

2015 July 2015

Performed time-study on 12 process lines throughout the plant

Implemented 6S, JIT techniques, designed - fabricated transport carts to facilitate motion of parts

within the facility

Designed a new Kanban process for a high-volume damper line that demands continuous flow of parts

Created Standard Work Instruction Sheets which serves as a working manual for the operators in the

line

Process Improvement Intern

Best Engineers Pumps Pvt Ltd Coimbatore, India January

2014 April 2014

Workflow assessment across the plant by using Arena Simulator to check the actual output that could

be generated with the existing flow

Performed bottleneck analysis and eliminated them by regulating workflow across the line through

work balance among machines and operators

Designed a specialized ERP software for the company

Made and analysed the Value stream map, thereby increasing the output by eliminating non-value

added activities

Used operation research techniques to facilitate proper allocation of work to machines

Manufacturing Engineer Intern

Pricol Ltd Coimbatore, India April 2013 May 2013

Designed and fabricated a semi-automated pneumatic bush crimping machine used to crimp bushes to

the axle of an odometer and replaced the manual machine that served as a bottleneck.

Reduced the pressure variation caused by manual crimping by setting up pressure valves attached to the

crimping machine to facilitate uniform pressure. This reduced defects caused by variation in pressure and

increased flow of work in the line.

Quality Engineer Intern

SJS Enterprises Pvt Ltd Bangalore, India April 2012

May 2012

Performed defect analysis and used Pareto charts to identify the defects that has the most occurrence.

Used Six Sigma principles such as brainstorming techniques and Root Cause analysis for problem

solving. Implemented Statistical Process Control Charts in the process lines for visual process analysis and

reasoning.

Used regression analysis on quality parameters. Reduced 4.5% of the production costs by working with

the manufacturing department to produce defect free parts.
