Delphi Automotive Systems

Entry Level

• • Used Shainin’s method as one of the problem solving techniques, to define the “Green Y” (ultimate goal), and to identify and ultimately kill the “Red X” (problem). • Developed the Process Control Charts and conducted Capability Analysis to support supplier changes. • Prepared the “standard operating procedure (SOP)” for the operators and job setters working on different machines. • Optimized the flush process on assembly lines using Design of Experiments (DOE) as a tool. Three factors were varied and their effects were analyzed using Minitab software. • Worked with Production Control and Logistics (PC&L) to determine the cause of ‘inventory loss’ of two particular part types and recommended different ways of reducing the same. • Continuous improvement project which improved First Time Quality (FTQ) and reduced scrap by 20%. • Worked in a team to create PPAP (Production Part Approval) documents by laying out the PFD’s (Process Flow Diagrams), PCP’s (Process Control Plan), and FMEA’s (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis). • Implemented Lean Manufacturing Techniques to reduce the Lead Time of the “M2 bodies” from 9 Days to 4 Days and extra inventory by 40%.

6/2007 - 8/2007

Angiotech,

Entry Level

• • Developed Acceptance Sampling Plan for a given population and for postproduction parts for varying sample size and reduced incoming inspection from 100% to sampling based on statistical data. • Investigated customer complaints for needle damage through experimental plans and studied the effects of various factors which were responsible for damaging the needles using Design of Experiments as a problem solving tool. • Performed root cause analysis, using 5 Why’s and Fishbone Diagrams, to investigate customer complaints and suggested immediate and long-term actions in order to prevent the complaints and increase customer satisfaction. • Developed the validation models for different needle groups.

9/2006 - 5/2008

Rochester Institute of Technology

Individual Contributor

• • Worked towards improving the reliability and robustness of the fuser in the Print Research and Image Systems Modeling Lab. • Performed Designing and Validation Experiments to support the findings. • Submitted a paper , “Application of the operating window concept to improve fuser reliability, A Case study on the failure modes of hot and cold offset”, to NIP24 and Digital Fabrication Conference, 2008.

7/2005 - 7/2006

Shilpa Industries

Individual Contributor

• • Responsible for cost reduction and process optimization techniques. • Scheduled work based on takt time for the process and developed labor standards and SOP’s. • Interacted with vendors and suppliers on a daily basis. • Managed and Led 4-6 employees and coordinated the daily production schedule.
