Projects
Nippon – University of Pittsburgh (Process Control)
 Established a statistical process control to monitor the length of Aluminum sheets in a manufacturing process for Nippon
where X bar - R charts were used to analyze weeks of real time data.
 The process capability of the process was established and updated with the changing specifications of thecompany.
Pine Medical– Green Belt Project (Standardization)
 Created the project charter, process flow maps and value stream maps to define the problem and used Ishikawa diagrams,
SIPOC and surveys to analyze it.
 Standardized the check-in and check-out processes, implemented 6S principles to reduce process time frame.
 Mitigated the losses due to penalties or lost revenues from insurance delays saving $31,000 per year.
Westing House– Black Belt Project (Process Improvement)
 Benchmarked the current nuclear parts manufacturing process against the best practices using gap analysis.
 Conducted performance improvement projects through RCA and implementation of Kaizen, TQM and 6S principles.
 Established a benchmarking process with C&E matrices and process maps which will save Westing house an estimated $
93,600 per project.
