Projects
Process and Work Standardization for World Class Quality (WCQ) requirement at TATA Motors, Jamshedpur
Jun 2013 - Present
- Performed the Time study and formulated WIS (work instruction sheet) to standardize human work
- Documented various Non-Value added activities done by operators during the assembly of parts
- Calculated load on each operator of the assembly line and compared it with time available
- Implemented WIS on the shop floor and ensured time taken at each station was kept below the takt time
- Eliminated Non-value adding activities and decreased the cycle time of the stations in the assembly line
- Formulated load balance sheet to ensure deployment of sufficient manpower to achieve desired capacity
Minimization of impeller changing time of Kanbara Reactor for De-sulphurization of Hot Metal at JSW Steel Vijaynagar Works
Jan 2016 - Feb 2016
- Studied the impeller changing process and applied Time & Motion Study to measure the work content
- Applied ECRS and VA/NVA framework to reduce work content in impeller changing process
- Implemented SMED to restructure the work and suggested use of dedicated standard tools
- Reduced impeller changing time of Kanbara Reactor by 46% (130 minutes to 72 minutes)
Revamping of the Basic Oxygen Furnace at JSW Steel Vijaynagar Works
Dec 2015 - Jan 2016
- Analyzed risk involved and prepared Risk Assessment Sheet for welding and gas cutting activities
- Implemented the design of the furnace and scrutinized the stepwise execution of revamping activities
- Synchronized and supervised civil and mechanical activities considering heavy equipment movements
Low Temperature Thermo-Mechanical Treatment effect on the characteristics of AL 6061 alloy
Jan 2014 - May 2014
- Analyzed chemical composition of the Al 6061 alloy and performed the annealing process
- Solutionized the sample and conducted Hardness, Tensile and Microstructure studies
- Carried out hardness and tensile tests for the cold rolled samples of 20%, 25%, and 30% deformation
- Calculated peak hardness time for the deformations and plotted the graphs
- Increased peak hardness value (51 HV to 132 HV) and higher peak load in tensile test for deformed samples
- Achieved a reduction of 47% time in obtaining peak hardness for cold rolled sample
- Increased peak tensile value by 3 times (1191 N to 3393 N) for deformed one with respect to annealed one
