Completed First phase of Quality inspection standardization for the 5 Torque convertor lines (Mapping present inspection system). •Next 3 months in Kaizen/Kanban/Lean mfg., INA Plant in South Carolina – Completed Red circle projects on VCT, Central Valve and Chaku Chaku line which were 12 hour inspections to document all the problems & downtime on the lines. Created graphical summaries and short listing top 3 issues and presented them to the management and supervisors in the daily walkthroughs. The red circle projects were extremely successful in reducing the downtime by around 10% and increasing the production by 7%. •Process Focus Team for Plant 6: streamlined the production system by implementing 5s, improving workstation layouts (maximizing utilization of the available space), PM and TPM activities, control plans, part flow, Time Studies and PFMEA. Understanding of DMAIC process, Six Sigma, SPC, charting, Pareto, 8D. •Compiled Spare part lists for all the machines in the Machining and Assembly area in Plant 6 to create a master Mill supply list used to create the MIPS system which was the first time in 5 years. •Responsible for testing Steel and Aluminium material specimens from Automotive Stamping Suppliers like Drive and GESTAMP •Pre prepped the dogbone specimens by cleaning and etching grids followed by Tensile Testing on Instron UTM •Recorded and Analyzed Test Data using Bluehill3 software •Prepared executive presentations for Test result to be sent to the clients.
