Academic Projects:
Course: Lean Six Sigma
Title: “Implementing the lean six- sigma frame work in a die castings manufacturing industry.”
Led statistical analysis on die castings rejections and traced the main reasons for its rejections. Developed the rejection control techniques by dissecting the rejection data, pareto charts and the fish bone diagrams (Cause and Effect). By distinguishing the major defects, discovered the root causes and actualized continuous improvement to minimize the overall rejections rate, utilizing the Lean six- sigma principles and DMAIC theory.
Course: Deterministic Optimization
Title: “Minimization of costs in mobile phone manufacturing and transportation using Optimization Techniques”
Led a group of 4 in developing the linear programming algorithms for the logistics, inventory control and transportation in a Mobile Phone manufacturing industry, reflecting in the optimization of the production costs, quality and the transportation costs using real time data to determine efficient investment plan.
Course: Digital Automation
Title: “Productivity improvement through automation in Diary industry.”
One of the Dairy factories in India uses a conventional conveyor system in stacking up bottles in the packaging system. Our team’s idea is to propose a new method that will change the way the bottles are stacked up in the carton. Our idea consists of designing an actuator system that pushes and stacks up the bottles to the packaging section. This proposal will reduce the time taken to stack and package the bottles.
