• Worked cross functionally with Operations, Process Development and Manufacturing teams to ramp up the production of 46-80 Li-ion cells.
• Identified KPIs and established specification limits to accommodate the production of various baselines.
• Defined IQC/ IPQC and OQC by implementing visual and data checks to establish clean points in the process.
• Ensured the Yield at all stations is ≥ Target %- used Tableau Dashboards/ SPCs/ SQL/ JMP.
• Used PFMEA to evaluate different failure modes for Non-Conforming (NC) Events/ Escapes affecting Yield.
• Exercised 8D and DMAIC for RCA and implemented countermeasures by working with cross-functional teams.

• Miller Perform Arc 750 S Robotic Welder:  Designed Fixtures and BOMs (SolidWorks), manufactured the parts using Laser cutting and Brake Press and assembled the fixture using TIG welding.  Fixtured the part on.
• Developed Value Stream Maps and Time Standards (Microsoft Visio) for the manufacturing processes to find bottlenecks, develop production schedules and to reduce cycle time and takt time (FIFO and Heijunka tools used).
• Audited safety in Fabrication booths using Design failure mode and effect analysis (DFMEA), found the least safe process and implemented 5S and Visual Management. Implemented Kanban system to improve manufacturing.
• Established the root cause of daily scrap produced in the Fabrication department, implemented a corrective action for the process (SPC and Shewhart control charts used). Helped save the company 25% in scrap losses.
• Documented Standard Operating Procedures and Inspection checklists by auditing manufacturing processes for cab weld, body weld, robotic welder and assembly areas.
• Acquired sub-assembly parts for the Fabrication Department using ERP- AS400 for process control.

• Assisted Aircraft Maintenance Engineers and performed regular maintenance tasks on aircrafts such as Boeing 747-400, Boeing 787-8, Boeing 777-200LR/ 300ER, etc.
• Monitored aircraft maintenance A check, B check, C check & D check and engine bore-scope inspections on GE90, GEnx and Pratt & Whitney engines.
• Monitored airworthiness of airplanes in the departments of Avionics, Airframe and Engine
• Scrutinized the aircraft flight reports/ snag sheets and prepared squawks report on monthly basis
• Prepared aircraft delay and defect analysis report as per The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements
• Monitored airplane health at myboeingfleet.com
