Parikar Business and Knowledge Services (Parikar) specializes in Operations Management, Process Re-engineering, Improvement, and Lean Six Sigma training and implementation to achieve maximum effectiveness at optimum efficiency. Parikar provides a wide range of services aimed at enhancing business processes and fostering a Lean Six Sigma culture within organizations.During my tenure at Parikar, I undertook a challenging profitability improvement project for a manufacturing company supplying automotive OEMs. Despite their cost reduction efforts, profitability was a concern. I defined a comprehensive strategy with five key areas of improvement:>Material Cost Reduction:Analysis of procurement processes and the supply chain.Implemented strategies to optimize material sourcing, negotiate better contracts, and reduce costs while maintaining quality.>Inventory Control:Implemented inventory control measures, including demand forecasting, just-in-time (JIT) principles, and optimized inventory levels.>Scrap Waste Reduction:Analyzed manufacturing processes to identify sources of scrap and waste and opportunities to reutilize.>OEE - Lean at Shopfloor:Implemented Lean methodologies, such as standardized work procedures, SMED, visual management systems, and continuous improvement initiatives to boost productivity and minimize downtime.>Product Costing Analysis for Better Cost Management:Conducted a detailed analysis of existing product costing and identified gaps.Implemented activity-based costing (ABC) and value engineeringThrough collaboration with the company's teams, these improvement initiatives were successfully implemented. Within one year, the company experienced significant improvements in profitability as a result of implementing these measures.I also worked on staffing and manpower calculations for a growing bank (100+ branches)- analyzing workforce requirements, optimizing manpower allocation, and ensuring efficient operations across all branches.

As an Industrial Engineering consultant, I have worked with over 100 companies across various industries, providing expertise in work measurement using MOST (Maynard Operation Sequence Technique), Lean Manufacturing, Lean Layout, Green Field, Production Setup, and Planning, as well as Line Balancing. Achieved a remarkable 95% line balancing, optimizing the distribution of workload among stations and improving overall production efficiency.Work content and Lead Time Reduction by 50-60%, enabling faster and more streamlined production processes.I have worked with a diverse range of companies, including automobile manufacturers (two-wheelers, cars, and trucks), auto component suppliers (machining, assembly, welding, press shop, gears, battery, Tyres, composites, forging, foundry, and more), supply chain planning, heavy industries, process industries, printing press, sugar, FMCG, Electronics, hospitals, and hotels as well.I have managed a team of industrial engineers and consultants, guiding them in delivering impactful solutions to clients. I have also conducted training programs for operators and managers, fostering a culture of positive productivity and Kaizen.A significant shift in productivity is achieved by focusing on measuring output in time (work content) rather than production units. This approach has provided a more accurate assessment of productivity and has led to improved efficiency across organizations. As an Industrial Engineering professional, I have also developed database and software solutions tailored to the field. These solutions are designed to streamline and optimize industrial engineering processes, enhance data management, and improve overall efficiency.
