• Spearheaded Digital Mock-Up (DMU) review for new passenger car model body structure based on Suzuki standard and past model benchmarking.• Worked with multiple suppliers and cross functional teams to achieve Start of Production (SOP) deadline along with achieving dimensional quality of BIW.• Independently performed a change management project of engineering material change of Steel type from cold rolled steel to cold-rolled and galvannealed (GA) high strength steel sheets for door… Show more • Spearheaded Digital Mock-Up (DMU) review for new passenger car model body structure based on Suzuki standard and past model benchmarking.• Worked with multiple suppliers and cross functional teams to achieve Start of Production (SOP) deadline along with achieving dimensional quality of BIW.• Independently performed a change management project of engineering material change of Steel type from cold rolled steel to cold-rolled and galvannealed (GA) high strength steel sheets for door parts of 4 passenger car models. Conducted trials for spot welding parameter stabilization (current, pressure, weld cycle, etc) and achieved spot strength based on destructive testing. Show less

• Facilitated weld line shifting and installation of an existing passenger car model from one plant location to the other.• Prepared material combination sheet for each weld spot of a passenger car model and defined spot welding parameters (current, pressure, cycles) based on Suzuki standard.• Underwent exposure to company-wide training for six months in various verticals- Engineering, Supply Chain, Production, Quality Assurance.

• Performed a Lean Six Sigma Project based on DMAIC problem solving approach named "Optimization of Grinding Allowance and Heat Treatment Growth Analysis of Cylindrical Roller Bearings".• Analysed indirect consumable inventory database and prepared a detailed proposal for cost reduction.

• Studied the process parameters affecting the cold rolling of steel and it's effect on the mechanical properties.
