PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Manufacturing Quality Engineering Intern Buffalo Wire Works (May ‘14 – Aug ‘14)
 R & D of new product, Rubber Screen Panels used in miningindustries usingInjection Molding techniquefollowingISO 9001
 Scheduled and Planned operations ,Implemented Strategic planning and control, Effective use of FMEA tool
 Application of Lean manufacturing tools SMED, Standardized Work, 5S, Time studies for DIE changeover problem
 Value stream Mapped the current production line
Lean Six Sigma Quality Green Belt Intern Community Beer Works (Sep '13 – Dec ‘13)
 Reduced loopholes rightfrom process of procuringfrom supplier to customer using Six Sigma tools “DMAIC” to the transactional
process in an organization
 Reviewed and applied 5S, cause and effect diagram, histogram, Pareto Chart, Value Stream Mapping etc
 Analyzed the process usingSix Sigma tools likeVSM, KPIV/KPOV and Improved process thatgenerates profit to organization
 Suggested use of portal which reduces the lead time between ordering and receivingin transactional process
 Standardized work, defined takt time for each process,lead to reduced process time from 165 minutes to 8 minutes
Production Supervisor National Organic Chemicals of India LTD (RCD) (July ‘11 - July ‘12)
 Supervised production unit known CBS, a chemical used as an accelerator in production of tires by clients such as MRF
 Researched and seek Continuous Improvement to make production atfaster and improved quality rate
 Analyzed the production rate usingprevious data and Implemented VSM, Followed hazardous operability process (HAZOP)
 Used FMEA tool to locate the loopholes,resulted in increased production rateby 3%
ACADEMIC PROJECTS - University at Buffalo, State University of New York (Sep’13 – Dec’14)
Manufacturing 9V battery with minimum variability Quality Assurance
