Internship, Holland & Knight, Tampa, FL Aug. 2016 – Dec. 2016 Project: Continuous process improvement in E-billing system, Technology used: Lean Six Sigma
Reduced lead time by 14.6% in E-billing process; overall saving $2.5M. Accomplished through improved notification and approval methods for additional timekeepers from client end.
Performed Root cause analysis to find NVA steps and took corrective actions to overcome them periodically.
Implemented 5S techniques that resulted in well-organized workplace with visual controls and orders
Installed visual board (Visual Management) to regularly put the weekly rejection of bills and analyze the cause in small group meetings.
Introduced Document system of billing error correction details to avoid future rejections and keep on track with the past Non-Value Added procedures.
Product Design Engineer, Fowler Westrup, Malur, India Sep. 2014 – Dec. 2015
Saved 12.5% in production cost and 36.7% in inventory & transportation cost by resolving inventory problems through the redesign of the existing project accessories.
Designed machine products and drafted as per ASME Y14 GD&T standards. Designed HVAC System, project accessories and material handling equipment (Conveyors, Elevators) as per client’s civil specifications.
Reworked old drawings and developed 2D drawing to 3D which eased manufacturing process. Worked in teams for R&D to develop conceptual 3D models.
Calculated the weight and cost of each component designed and performed finite element analysis using ANSYS.
Corrected and Created Engineering change orders and requests, reviewed them for release and released them
(ECR, ECO & ECN’s). Co-ordinated with Inspection team to validate and test of manufactured products
Preformed Bill of Material (BOM), project budgets, designed layouts using AUTO CAD for more than 20 clients. Project Engineer Intern, Sumukha Projects, Bangalore, India Jul. 2014 – Aug. 2014
Developed project objectives by reviewing proposals and plans. Controlled project plans by reviewing design specification and plan. Face to face interaction with customers to resolve site issues.
Maintained safe and clean working environment by enforcing procedures, rules and regulations.
