• JOB VALIDATIONS: Performed validations on around 30 high-functional jobs, based on GM Standard Time techniques – Updated the operational evaluation and standard operating sheets using APS and STDS • TIME STUDIES: Performed routine line speed checks (Takt time) for conveyors and elevators to verify the safe speed limits (SSL); Performed periodical cycle time calculations on various hoists and robots, to ensure equipment efficiency • JOB SCROLLING: Performed work measurements on 20 critical jobs and carried out “Job Scrolling” by appropriately updating the Tool, Bin, Equipment, Workbench, and Obstruction • LINE BALANCING: Used proven time study techniques to conduct efficient “Line Balancing” in critical conveyors, to eliminate workflow irregularities and improve productivity • THROUGHPUT IMPROVEMENT PROCESS (TIP): Worked with Team Leaders and Group Leaders in identifying major bottlenecks and implemented appropriate action plans to eliminate the bottlenecks and improve the throughput • AUDIT PLANNING: Collaborated and performed an internal audit on various Parts, Part Numbers, and location of critical parts in the kitting cells, and developed an excel database of parts information for efficient data organization • MULTIPLE ACTIVITY CHARTS: Utilized MOST technique in analyzing and verifying the process/cycle time of 6 “Wheel Alignment Pits” – Appropriately updated the “Man-Machine Chart” for 3 different categories of trucks (Normal, LRR and LRR+NVM) passing the “Wheel Alignment Pits” • CROSS-FUNCTIONAL COLLABORATION: Actively participated in the Continuous Improvement Process (CIP) workshops in identifying and analyzing the root causes for production/tooling/equipment issues on a shift-by-shift basis

• PROCESS IMPROVEMENT: Used MS Visio and MS Publisher to develop Visual Manufacturing Practices (VMPs), which enabled floor workers to carry out the product development process without flaws, thereby increasing the operational efficiency by 25% • CAPACITY PLANNING: Maintained efficient capacity planning of day-to-day logistics activities, by appropriately maintaining and updating the internal daily status report – Pick workbenches • PRODUCTION PLANNING: Carried out Resource Scheduling by using MS Excel, for smart task distribution and advanced planning, thereby optimizing and increasing the resource availability by 13%, from 78% to 91% • INTERNAL AUDITS: Conducted an internal audit and identified the major bottlenecks with the fixtures, thereby reducing the maintenance costs of fixtures, by 75% (savings in maintenance cost of $350 for quarter 3 – 2019) • TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION: Used MS Publisher to update the BOMs and travelers, in accordance with the contemporary assembles, sub-assemblies and parts being used, thereby ensuring 100% material provision in all the equipment being manufactured

• LEAN/SIX-SIGMA PLANNING: Independently planned 10+ process and continuous improvements (5S, KAIZEN, POKA-YOKE) to the existing DCS-PLC architectures and updated the loop drawings (relays, interlocks, wiring modifications), using MS Visio and AutoCAD. • TECHNICAL DOCUMENTATION: Revised and reviewed all the technical documentation – ISO documents, checklists, SOPs, DOPs, PDOPs, BoMs; placed purchase orders (POs), Work orders, maintenance orders using SAP ERP, to support day-to-day work activities. • MAINTENANCE PLANNING (CAPA): Utilized a collaborative and consensus approach to carry out the preventive maintenance and corrective maintenance of ABB, L&T VFD drives (2.5 RPM, 2.5 RPM, 3.3 kW, 3 phase motors), EEL packers (240 TPH), 4-20 mA controllers, UPS, and LETATWIN LM390A ferruling machines, etc. • CROSS-FUNCTIONAL COLLABORATION: Collaborated with the internal engineering staff in installing, commissioning, and preventive maintenance of additional dosing controller (UNIPULSE), packers (EEL), MRP machines (CONTROLPRINT), and weighing scales (PHOENIX). • DATA ANALYSIS: Used MS Excel (MACROS and VLOOKUP) for historical and current trends collection and analysis, pertaining to the cement export-reviewed, analyzed and reported the data to the senior management, for demand and supply chain planning. • TRAINING & COACHING: Trained & coached 20+ team members, on safety & environmental policies (usage of PPEs, LOTO procedures, reporting Near Misses, safety & environmental hazards), to ensure 100% safety compliance in and around the work floor. • PROCESS IMPROVEMENT: Coordinated cross-functional research activities (Quality Circles, weekly CAR and CAPA meetings), to troubleshoot and resolve the long-lasting equipment, machinery, and functional data contradiction problems.
