EXPERIENCE

Graduate Assistant Northern Illinois University – Dekalb, IL May 2019 – May 2020

(Six Sigma, Kaizen, MS Excel, SolidWorks, Research Skills)

Trained IE students in Six Sigma Methodologies and guided undergraduate students in a Kaizen workshop for weekly activities

Orchestrated study sessions and taught graduate students the lean manufacturing principles, VLOOKUP and HLOOKUP formula development, pivot table generation, basic mathematics, and 3D model in SolidWorks; increased passing percentage by 40%

Implemented color-coded visual board for students to easily identify the right tutor and help tutors to keep track of their work tasks

Industrial Engineer DVP Infra Projects – Mumbai, India Jan 2017 – Apr 2018

(Lean Manufacturing, Kanban, PFMEA, Problem-Solving, AutoCAD, MOST, Data Analysis)

Coordinated with a cross-functional team to implement continuous improvement and cost-saving initiatives during design and fabrication of cargo ships/warehouses, saving worth $1280/quarter

Enhanced labor safety and reduced the risk by 20% during the assembly of metal plates and sea anchor on ships after analyzing all the possible causes of failures using Process Failure Mode Effective Analysis (PFMEA)

Pioneered Kanban board which represented the different stages of the development process to recognize the bottlenecks and process improvements resulted in achieving annual cost savings of $200k and an 85% reduction in WIP on the shop floor

Installed and developed direct labor standards using time and motion studies such as MOST and stopwatch

Interacted with vendors while purchasing the raw materials and increased productivity and profitability through structured data analysis using tools such as Excel and Tableau

Accelerated manufacturing efficiency and acquired better ergonomics by redesigning a facility/warehouse layout using AutoCAD

Executed fishbone diagram analysis to find the root cause of the problem related to increasing scrap materials and by reusing them reduced the scrap rate by 35%

Improved the installation time of metal deck plates on the boat's funnel deck from 60 minutes to 35 minutes by establishing the Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) system

ACADEMIC PROJECTS

Value Stream Mapping in a clock manufacturing industry

Drafted a value stream map for the current state and observed the cycle time to improve the process efficiency from 70% to 85%

Devised two poka-yoke (error proofing) devices and introduced Kanban events in the future state map for process improvement

Implemented Kanban pull system, 5S, 8D, load leveling, line balancing, quality at source concepts, and cross-training the operators to reduce the non-value-added activities in the system for effective assembly of the clock

Outside vendor finishing (OVF) process improvement at Textron systems using DMAIC Lean Methodology

Measured, analyzed, improved, and controlled the collected data using statistical analysis tools within Minitab

Decreased the average days of material spends in the OVF process from 13 days to 10 days, after eliminating the suppliers with the longest lead times and most defects

Design of storage strategy in unit load warehouse

Analyzed the data and developed histogram, pareto analysis, dot plot of the number of pallet positions, hierarchical clustering, and visual representation of rack storage using data analysis tools Minitab and Power BI

Built a storage strategy by allocating one group for pallet and another group for floor after calculating optimal lane depths

CERTIFICATIONS

Certified Six Sigma Green Belt (Nov 2020), Graduate Study in Lean Six Sigma (May 2020), Certification of SolidWorks (Mar 2017)
