KEY CAREER HIGHLIGHTS & VALUE PROPOSITION

Awarded as winner for Execution Excellence for P414/P83 Inner boom flatness issue elimination for delivering annual savings of about INR 26 Lakhs.

Spearheaded the implementation of Basic MOST in Plant for Hydraulic cylinder; increased number of cylinders from 57 to 69; resulted in 23% productivity improvement.

Implemented Mini Most for JT & PT Valves with 10% productivity improvement

Implemented improvements through Cycle time Study; reduced cycle time and fatigue elements; reduced cycle time between 12% to 23%.

Proved instrumental in inventory reduction of JT & PT Valves child parts from 14 days to 4 days; ensured smoother flow of material from suppliers to line directly and reduced multiple handling without impacting the production.

Increased JT & PT valve hydraulic testing output from 242 valves to 270 valves per shift by reducing cycle time.

Productivity Improvement.

oImplemented Gate Cell; improved productivity 17.5-19%, Gates per insert corner 30-32 jobs/corner, Gates per shift 21 Jobs/shift.

oInserted trials for Component Seat Retainer; increased finish component from 1 job/corner to 3 job/corner.

oUsed Seat Retainer that improved productivity from 8 jobs per shift to 13 jobs per shift with 72% improvement.

oUsed Gate Valve Body that caused setup reduction from 3 set ups to 1 setup by using Fixture.
