1. Implemented Form in-place gasket for Giotto and Rubens Radio. Automated the process with Fanuc LR Matte and Nordson Dispensing solution. Annual Cost Savings achieved - $350,000.2. Reduced the Labor Cost from $1.12 to $0.65 for Radio Assembly.3. Increased the throughput from 240/hr to 340/hr.4. Responsible for DFMA and QMS setup procedure for New Product Implementation.

• Led major Cost of Poor Quality reduction project to drive the COPQ from the SGE Work-Cell by 35%.• Implemented Visual Factory to reflect weekly metrics for safety, quality, delivery and cost.• Setup hourly production tracking to account for any downtime and quality failures in the work cell.• Created and delivered training modules for Lean tools and Problem Solving Methods.

• Enhanced existing refurbishing processes through continuous improvement, by developing alternate proposals, accompanied by strong data analysis and root cause problem solving procedures.• Planned, managed, lead and executed projects from conception to successful completion. Identified, lead and executed projects for implementation of new processes and products, and process improvement.• Performed time studies, developed labor standards and cost control mechanisms. • Drafted Standard Operating procedures for Retro Consoles.

• Compiled Master Production Schedule, a lead measure for uncertainties like production breakdown and surprise shortages. • Implemented KANBAN to regulate smooth flow of fast-moving sub-assemblies which were manufactured in-house.• Ensured good material availability rate in order to maintain high overall equipment efficiency (OEE).• Maintained data to analyze and improve customer KPIs on deliveries, quality and inventory.• Anticipated shortages from suppliers to ensure on-time delivery and monitored daily production efficiency.• Planned assembly lines as per demand and prioritized internal and external demands.

• Led GEMBA walks with management team to reduce and eliminate non-value-added activities in the processes. • Responsible for manpower staffing levels and forecasting.• Studied the process involved in manufacturing of ovens and simulated in WITNESS 14 software to identify the bottlenecks in the current process.• Replaced the current welding operation with argon welding, which led to better surface finish and reducing cycle time of the downstream bottleneck buffing operation and thereby streamlining the process.• Analyzed various quality defects in Oven assembly and improved yield from 60% to 90%.• Implemented 5S in the warehouse to facilitate organized operations at the facility. • Executed quality checks for finished products.

• Studied & recommended solutions to tackle quality issues.• Performed weekly data analysis and reported for value stream mapping: efficiency, realization and productivity, in addition to earned hours, labor charging and flow inhibitors.• Evaluated PFMEA to reduce risk factor on the assembly line.• Assisted in the periodic maintenance of the various machines involved in the process.• Managed pre-launch activities of new lock by product planning activities, building distributor network getting customer feedback of the lock samples given to beta-users.
