• Driving Supplier, In-process, Product and Field Quality of Construction Equipment (Excavators, Soil & Asphalt Compactors, Pavers, Pneumatic Tyre Rollers)• Developed & Implemented Quality system in line with Volvo Production System• Establishing Quality requirements for New Products• Quality Coaching and mentoring on 7 QC Tools, Six Sigma, Statistical Process Control• Driving initiatives as Built in Quality, Quality Circles, Small Group Activities etc.Recent Key AccomplishmentsDigitalized Gate Inspection Process for various Products under the initiative of “Application of Industry 4.0 to Quality” thereby substantially reducing Inspection time & usage of Stationery. It also helped in early resolution of Quality issues due to Direct On line intimation to assembly stations.Considerably reduced COPQ by Adopting Systematic Problem Solving approaches (e.g. Six Sigma, 7 QC Tools) to resolve Customer Quality Issues, Supplier Quality Problems & Process related Quality Problems. It helped in: 1) Export improved from 3% to 22%; 2) Warranty cost reduced by almost 80% in last 5 Years; 3) Structural life improved from average 2500 Hours to 8500 Hours (For Excavators); 4) Line stoppages reduced from average 40 Minutes per machine to less than 5 Minutes per machine due to Supplier Quality Issues; 5) Improved “First Time Through” from 35% to 87%; 6) Early hour field irritants reduced from 0.27 Fault per machine to 0.07 Fault per machineDriving Six Sigma initiative for CTQ and CTC projects to improve the Quality, reduce cost and improve Safety
