Sundaram Clayton, Chennai: Industrial Engineering Intern Feb-July 2018

Reduced workforce by 25% in production lines by collaborating with Process owners and making Process Capability Charts and aided in implementing 5S in the shop floor.

Analysed and mapped Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for all the warehouse and shop floor activities with the approval of process owners.

Participated in time study in the shop floor to identify bottlenecks and identify areas of improvement and aided in capacity evaluation and overall effectiveness of processes. CERTIFICATION:

Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Certification – Simplilearn (Accredited by IASSC)

Minitab - National Association of State Boards of Accountancy (NASBA)

ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System Auditor Course - Udemy ACADEMIC PROJECTS:

Quality Assurance Project Spring 19

Optimized the process quality of car assembly by identifying the cost of quality for each process, developing PFMEA identifying the root cause of process downtime using Ishikawa analysis.

Developed the standard SOP for the final assembly line to achieve the production target of 31 Jobs per hour.

Developed cost of quality calculator to identify the external failure costs, internal failure costs, appraisal costs and prevention costs for car manufacturing process.

Production Planning & Control Spring 19

Forecasted demand for National tires agency, India for upcoming quarter using data from past 2 years

Approach used involved steps like data collection, preliminary analysis, choosing & fitting models, using & evaluating a forecasting model

Three month moving average, linear regression, exponential smoothening, Holts & Winters method, exponential smoothening with seasonality and Winters method were used

Using MAD, MAPE and MSE, the forecasting method with least error was chosen to be the right fit

Exponential smoothening with seasonality resulted into being the appropriate fit through graphical and error analysis Six Sigma project Fall 18

Reviewed an Article on a Cancer treatment hospital and used the six sigma methodology to reduce patients discharge time by applying the concept of DMAIC cycle.

Used Stakeholder analysis as a part of improvement methodology to implement the findings. Fatigue Testing of Polymer Matrix Hybrid: Jan 2017

Analyzed the fatigue life of a parabolic leaf spring based on reinforced fiber

The objective of this study was to predict the fatigue life of a parabolic leaf spring based on two different fibers reinforced with aluminum oxide and silicon carbide as filler material under constant amplitude loading through various mean stress method
