 Resolved Quality Issues and Identified bottlenecks to facilitate the smooth flow of returned Drive Units from General Assembly/ End of Line by collaborating with cross-functional teams within as well as outside the department  Performed root cause analysis for Resolver LOT issue which had caused a 15% fall-out, and conducted daily follow-up meetings with the interdisciplinary teams leading to remarkable improvement with zero fall-out rate  Actively engaged in discussions with supplier regarding part quality issues and have successfully negotiated a chargeback for downtime and rework costs incurred  Executed Gauge Repeatability and Reproducibility (GR&R) analysis to validate the accuracy and reliability of curve tracer equipment. Utilized this validated equipment for testing used power modules, leading to significant savings of $818K  Estimated testing time for 8K power modules, factoring in test cycle duration, and equipment capacity, and communicated regular updates to the interdepartmental team  Applied quality tools such as the Fishbone diagram to brainstorm solutions with cross-functional teams, addressing the BEMF (Back electromotive Force) issue effectively  Contributed to SAT (Site Acceptance Training) activities by validating various parameters on New launched Drive Unit Line  Implemented Quality gates on the production line, reviewed and dispositioned non- conforming material, and updated Job Element Sheets to ensure the adherence of quality to company standards  Developed Power App to document the status of Quality checked parts from rework, thereby streamlining the tracking process

 Constructed Inspection plans and Control Plans in the company’s new CAQ (Computer Aided Quality) software by coordinating with process experts for new product launch, thereby facilitating the launching process  Assisted in aligning the characteristics in CAQ software by verifying and stamping Engineering Drawings, Process design specifications ahead of the launch of new product  Participated in Gemba walks with process experts and PFMEA moderators to evaluate the risk assessment in PFMEA’s, documented the changes and modified PFMEA’s  Implemented the CAQ software on 15 Inspection stations for easy detection of quality control issues by the operators  Assisted in 8D meetings for customer complaints and documented the findings for further references

 Collaborated with different departments, deployed Quality Control software on maintenance terminals, and trained operators to reduce the warranty claims on the machines  Worked in cross-functional teams, collected data, and analyzed it with the help of Pivot charts, performed Root Cause Analysis, and implemented corrective actions to improve the uptime of information flow on the production floor by up to 95%  Executed crossed, randomized GR&R study in Minitab for Dyer’s Measuring Table 747 to implement the instrument on the shop floor with an aim to improve the accuracy of measurement for drive shaft  Developed TPM schedule for Main Frame Weld Line and uploaded it in company’s new CAQ Software by Asset Tagging, Asset Numbering, and level loading of all the PMs which improved the efficiency by up to 87%  Generated standard work, conducted time studies, lead and assisted Kaizens, and supported voluntarily to implement 5s for offsite projects
