Academic Project
Reduction of scrap sheet metal implementing Six Sigma DMAIC methodology Summer’19
• Implemented DMAIC methodology to identify the Root Cause for the scrap generated in the organization.
• Created Statistical Process Control charts to plot data over time and identify variations in the process
• Improved First Time Quality (FTQ) of sheet metal from 76% to 88% by reducing scarp rate and defects and saved company over $50,000 in 4 months
Production planning at Greek Manufacturing Company Spring’19
• Analysed provided data, identified trends, forecasted demand and managed inventory by planning production on weekly basis
• Worked on MPS, MRP, CRP based on bill of material, on hand inventory and WIP using MS Excel
• Reduced overall cost by using inventory management model including Base stock model to make a profit of $60000
Application of trans-shipment process on transportation of coal, India Fall’18
• Collected data for coal contracts and noted the prices, quantity and time required for coal transportation
• Designed a network flow diagram for transhipment and created a mathematical model for entire process
• Executed the problem using MS Excel (Solver) and reduced the cost of transportation of coal by $130,000
• Minimized the total purchasing and transporting cost of coal from different mines to it to thermal power stations across India using trans-shipment approach
