PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Research Intern - UTSA, San Antonio, Texas (Jan 2011- Present)
• Worked on two continuous improvement projects.
• Identified bottleneck resources by using concepts like theory of constraints, value stream mapping.
• Participated in a team to investigate defects in processes by doing root-cause-analysis, FMEA.
• Performed cost drive analysis aiming to increase profits.
• Maintained intellitek table top machine in flexible manufacturing lab.
• Maintaining technical knowledge by attending workshops, conducting seminars, reviewing publications.
• Strong knowledge of oracle database and worked on Unix/Linux platforms.
Process Improvement project at Injection Molding Job Shop - ‘Moore Plastics’ - San Antonio, Texas
• Identifying inefficient operating procedures and developing standardized procedures for optimizing throughput.
• Participated in root cause analysis and prepared process reports to recommend corrective actions.
• Conducted time studies on Injection molding machine by videotaping whole changeover process.
• Used 3R for efficient consumption of materials.
• Decreased molding machine setup time by 30% after implementing lean tools such as SMED, 5S.
• Redesigned plant layout has provided 20% decrease in movement of workers and materials.
• Suggested future state map have shown 50% reduction in non-value added time.
Manufacturing Engineer Intern - Lancer Corporation- San Antonio, Texas (Oct 2010 – May 2012)
Packaging Project
• Understanding the flow of materials and drawing plant layout.
• Estimated the cost of packaging of materials at each location (Machine Press, O20, and Lancer Mexico Plant).
• Performed cost analysis to identify key cost drivers.
• Suggested to use racks/totes instead of cardboard boxes to reduce cost of packaging.
• Redesigned the layout and implemented Kanban system to make material flow ‘pull’.
Lean Project:
• Worked with a team of 3 members to reduce lead time at material review board in lancer.
• Suggested standardized work, 5s, value stream mapping lean tools to achieve less lead time.
• Developed SOP’s by doing root cause analysis, fish-bone diagram and 5S.
• SPC charts, Pareto charts, Scatter diagrams were used to analyze the non-conformance of materials.
• Created current state and future state map.
• Suggested Future state map indicates 30% reduced time.
Teaching Assistant – UTSA, San Antonio, Texas (Jan 2011-Dec 2012)
• Delivered lectures on Lean manufacturing concepts.
• Guided undergrad students in material science lab.
• Observed classes whenever asked by the professor.
• Evaluated lab reports, homework assignments and tests.
Industrial Engineer - VTPS, India (Jul 2009-jun 2010)
• Helped a team of four members expedite an investigation and suggested guidelines to increase throughput.
• Identified the root causes for process delays and developed standardized procedures.
• Identifying process bottlenecks and constraints in the production process.
• Suggested optimization techniques affec...
