to make any recipe.
• Prepared the strategy for BSIV launch of Prima tipper models, with optimum budget
requirement and testing, to meet the regulatory timeline.
• Always considered the worst case testing among various models of different tonnage, so that
testing and prototype making cab be optimized and product can be launched faster
Benchmarking and QFDs,
• Benchmarking of competitor’s product and driving better specification of our products.
