• Project: Application of Six Sigma Concepts through Poka-Yoke Technique in the Manufacturing of Electromechanical Relays for Improving Quality
• Identified critical to quality failures through root cause analysis, which hampers the achievement of zero defect manufacturing of electromechanical relay
• Applied Poka-Yoke integrated Six Sigma methodology & 7 QC tools to determine the vital defects and proposed Poka-yoke and process-based solutions as corrective measures
• Improved sigma level from 3.12 𝜎 to 3.38𝜎; documented and enforced standard operating procedure; provided process monitoring using control charts as a control measure to sustain achieved quality level

• Project: Cycle Time Reduction and Process Improvement using Lean Six Sigma Methodology in the Manufacturing Of Pump Casing
• Analysed R & R for Vernier caliper, screw gauge, and dial bore gauge for measuring process capability
• Reduced 43 mins of cycle time by identifying bottleneck station and delegating the machining of the dimensions with open tolerance and rough cuts to another workstation of lower MHR
• Optimised the SOP through time and motion study, and waste elimination through value stream mapping
• Performed Taguchi design of experiments to determine optimum levels of speed, feed, and depth of cut to maximize milling and drilling tool life
