Quality Engineering Intern
At Saft, I spent my days ensuring shipment demands are met by coordinating packing with quality coordinators, and working on a wide variety of projects including: - A time study of the final quality inspection area to determine whether new hires are needed to handle increased demand in 2024 and to determine possible lean manufacturing improvements.- Creation of an excel sheet that optimizes the next 25 hours of production to maximize up time.- Lean manufacturing improvements in the final inspection area, such as: designing and 3D printing custom tooling to make inspecting battery cells more efficient, producing an excel sheet that uses a SQL database to auto-update a shipping inventory, adding shelves to maximize employee's workspace, creating a simple system to ensure a specific inspection measurement isn't repeated, developing and posting signage about common defects for each battery cell type- Ideating and making creative data visualizations for scrap amounts for Quality Directors use in high-level meetings- Assisting with creation of a model for a new production line to determine number and type of industrial ovens required and to optimize production with least number of shifts
