RELEVANT COURSES:
----------------
Manufacturing Systems, Planning and Analysis, Location Logistics for Industrial Facilities,
Production and Inventory Control, Logistics Distribution Management,
Engineering Analysis for Decision Making, Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP),
Design and Analysis of Experiments, Simulation Methods and Applications,
PROJECTS:
---------
-Constraint Location and Bottle neck placement:
Developed five models of a discrete manufacturing facility to analyze the design of its work cell. Recommended the best layout by simulating those models and considering line-balancing, JIT and theory of constraints, which resulted in 30 % reduction in part delay, overall process time and an increase in throughput at bottleneck. (MS Degree Project)
-Just In Time Manufacturing:
Analysis and evaluation of JIT, MRP and TOC by its application in Toyota.
-Analysis of Distribution Center:
Developed and implemented strategies to gain a competitive advantage through centralized distribution centers to reduce the shipment and inventory costs.
-Supply Chain/Logistics Network Design:
Developed and implemented third party managed inventory system for offshore oil companies using heuristic based techniques for vehicle routing. (Language: C)
-Optimal Analysis of Industrial Problems:
Formulated and solved real time optimization problems related to production and inventory control, transportation and scheduling. (Software used: LINDO & MOR/LP)
-Inventory Management:
Cost analysis of supplier hub concept to decrease onsite inventory at Apple Inc.
-Process Improvement for Inventory Control:
Accomplished the process of synchronizing the Inventory database by coordinating the IT team and physical inventory team to upgrade it from Sybase to Oracle.
-Application of FEM/FEA to Industry using ANSYS:
Solved 3 industrial problems to analyze and create solid models of simulation to animate distribution of data. (Software used: ANSYS and Pro/Engineer)
-Decision Making and Risk Analysis:
Analysis and evaluation of risk factors by simulating the product data and integrating it with decision trees to supplement decision making process. (Software used: @RISK)
-Simulation of Cross-Dock Shipment model: Designed and developed discrete model of cross-dock system for grouping and shipment of generators used at GE Power System. (Software Used: Arena)
