- Assist professor to teach class IEE 300: Economic Analysis of Engineers. - Where we cover different economic topics like annual equivalent worth, replacement & breakeven analysis, inflation, depreciation, income tax cash flow, financial statement, and financial engineering. - Help students for better understanding of the subject and improve their grades throughout the semester.

An industrial analyst working to optimize improve productivity, improve vehicle routes, energy consumption and reduce wastage for small and medium-sized manufacturing plants in the region around Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico.- Interacted with customers to solve their problems and to improve the throughput of production.- Solved Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) for the manufacturing industry.- Managed multiple projects of continuous improvement simultaneously and finished them on time with phenomenal achievement.- Balanced assembly line to reduce cycle time and manufacturing operating cost.- ASHRAE Level-2 assessments for various companies in regions around Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico.- Performed cross-functional duties with a diverse team of engineering students.- Performed cost analysis to reduce manufacturing operating cost.- Developed solutions/methods that reflect federal and state energy codes.

Did research under the guidance of Dr.Rene Villalobos, a well-known ASU professor. Projects are listed below:• Smart Manufacturing:- - Developing new method of multivariate analysis and statistical process control using control charts in Minitab. - Forecast the vibration and temperature based on the historical data of the machine via identifying trend and seasonality. - The final goal is to make a predictive model that can diagnose and prevent failure of the system in an earlier stage of the defect. - Condition monitoring of established workstation. Monitoring vibrations, acoustic emission and temperature with multivariate control charts.• Research Paper "Synchronizing production line and developing Economic Batch Size(EBS) formula for Oven/Furnace":-- Writing a research paper on the method of developing Economic Batch Size formula for Oven/Furnace. Finding an equation of how much amount of units to put inside an oven that will minimize total production cost.- Took basic concept of the supply chain (Economic Order Quantity - EOQ) and integrate it with mechanical (Thermal) concepts.• Demand Response:-- Developed a model that compare different rate structure of electricity provider (APS & SRP) and give minimum rate plan that suits to industry. Model also shift peak load to off-peak and give comparison of that.- Try to shift production from on-peak hours to off-peak hours and make constant demand throughout the day.

- Developed KPI dashboards and exception report to provided replenishment teams with critical visibility to supply chain performance (e.g., fill rate, on-time performance, days of supply, and service level) for Pressure Vessels and Heat Exchangers.- Achieved "Best Student Intern" award within the entire company resulted in a full-time job.- Utilized analytical and quantitative methods forecast demand, inventory levels. Used forecasting methods in R and JMP to predict sales. - Reduced Cost and Lead Time by negotiating with suppliers and identify innovative solutions. - Synchronize between supply planner and demand planner for better coordination. Monitored inventory and sales in SAP and SQL. - Developed and met parts procurement and distribution goals for the company which effectively balanced delivery of industry-leading cycle-times and financial performance. - Reduced non-value-added cycle time by 30% (5 minutes) for welding through time-motion study and resolved bottlenecks to maximum profit.- Determined quality improvement parameters by identifying statistical methods relevant to manufacturing processes. Developed design of experiments by applying fractional and full factorial techniques.

- Interacted and negotiated on behalf of the company with local vendors. Implemented forecasting, resolve freight service claim and invoice issues, tracking and optimizing transportation of shipments.- Utilized forecasting or historical demand data to establish inventory levels. Minimized overall inventory value while maintaining on-time delivery to the customer.- Performed logistics coordination and sources the most cost-effective shipping/receiving.- Applied Six Sigma and Kaizen methodologies to increase product quality, improving process flow, and reducing cost & defects with maintaining safety for employers.- Helped marketing and sales engineer for data analysis and marketing. Presented at Vibrant Gujarat Global Tradeshow-2017 and hosted a stall for marketing. Attracted customers and converted them into clients with a success ratio of 3/5.- Worked with KUKA KR6 welding robot, McElroy fin tube machine, CNC plasma cutting machine as a part of the project under L&T, Reliance, and Dresser-Rand.- Reduced Cost up to 30% and Lead Time up to 1 week (25%) by negotiating with suppliers.- Synchronize between supply planning team and production planning team for better coordination.
