Rejection of Automobile Part Clutch in an Automobile Manufacturing Industry Nov 2019

Analysed using DMAIC methodology for improving and optimizing existing process problems

Implemented quality improvement tools like SIPOC Model, Fishbone Diagram, Pareto Principle and 5s methodology to identify the defects and eliminate them

Rejections of clutches decreased from 6.8% to 1.81% leading to an improvement of 70% Simulation report for Photovoltaic Panel Production Facility April 2019

Prepared a simulation model on WITNESS Simulation using the 40-20-40 simulation methodology

Validated, analysed, modified the model to achieve maximum production of PV panels within the facility, and prepared the 12-step simulation report

Multiple Linear Regression Analysis on Efficiency of various Automobiles Nov 2018

Developed a multiple linear regression model to study and analyse how predictors that influence average miles per gallon of an automobile affect efficiency of automobiles

Analysis was done using SAS (Statistical Analysis System) to find out the relationship between the response variable and the predictor variables

Studied Scatterplot Matrix, Correlation Matrix, Anova Table and using model search defined the best model Design & Fabrication of Fiber Extracting Machine from Banana Tree April 2016

Designed model using SOLIDWORKS and analysed using ANSYS. Built a frame using mild steel and rollers were attached using a gear system for removing water and extracting banana fibers. Electrical motor operating at 1200rpm aided for operating the rollers

Conclusion was to keep the gap between rollers as minimum as possible CERTIFICATIONS & ACCOMPLISHMENTS
