I was part of a student consulting team tasked with locating additional healthcare networks that matched Aitheras’ business model requirements in order to expand their market segment for their medical aviation sector within the United States. We accomplished this by working closely with management to determine what their requirements and geographical preferences were, as well as to absorb their market and competitive knowledge. Our team was able to present our client with a deliverable that both met and exceeded their requirements at the end of the engagement.

Our team was able to improve our client's moulding machine Overall Equipment Effectiveness by 21.03% over 4 months, resulting in a monthly savings of $57,750 and overall yearly savings of $693,000. We successfully used Lean Six Sigma techniques to determine root causes of various poor-performing processes on this line and made recommendations based on client feedback, employee interviews, and data analysis. I was the team leader for this project, guiding our group to identify bottlenecks and propose standard operating procedures for both technical and administrative issues in order to present a creative and insightful deliverable to our client.
