Process Improvement Intern – Dollar Tree Jan – May’16

Planned and restructured facility layout, implemented 5S, in which achieved 11 % increased floor space

Reduced the scrap rate in the shop by proper documentation of all SKU and by driving kaizen by understanding KPI

Implemented DMAIC to reduce customer wait time by 26.2% in the counter and proved it statistically

Quality Intern – Bonfiglioli Jan - July’15

Represented Quality team to communicate project progress, captured cost savings, consumer satisfaction, and appropriate business productivity metrics to management

Associate member of APQP team for NPI and actively framed the necessary documentation

Performed Pareto analysis with high runners, NCR, customer complaints and scrap cost to identify the top 10 critical parts and to initiate CAPA and to bring NCR down to 5% as a part of Hoshin kanri strategy

Carried out a Zero defect PPM action plan to achieve good supplier base of parts using process improvement tools

Developed quality documents related to material conformance by performing process capability runs to figure AQL

Quality engineer – Siemens Feb – Dec’14

Lead the team for evaluating, testing the precision, accuracy and quality of bought out parts (PPAP signing off)

Developed corrective action using 8D methodology and RCA to redesign the properties and increase capability of parts

Performed DFMEA (Design Failure mode and Effect Analysis), PFMEA (Process Failure mode & Effect analysis) for problems related to spur gear, helical gear and shafts

Slashed internal failure rate by 8 % by analyzing the cost of poor quality (COPQ) using root cause analysis.

Worked with suppliers to understand CTQ ( Critical to Quality) parameters to ensure proper quality of components

Participated in cross functional assessment teams to apply quantitative tools to identify the current state from which improvement opportunities exist

Effectively reduced the severity of a critical quality concern by developing a CAPA action plan for mating surface
