Work History
Material Flow and Layout Planner - Consultant
Caterpillar India
Chennai
12.2018 - 06.2020
As an On-Site consultant with Caterpillar India in Material Flow Optimization DES project for 1.5+ years
Analysing, improving and implementing material flow across all the value streams i.e
In-bound, Warehouses,
Fabrication, Assembly, Testing, Ship yard and Out-bound for Off Highway Trucks (OHTs) and Hydraulic
Excavators (HEXs)
Developed digital simulation models of all the value streams and using simulation + VSM to merge them and
emulate the enhanced flow operations of the complete plant
Efficienct reduction of flow and resources helped in proposing immense existing layout improvements and
assisted layout planner in finalizing the value streams and plant layouts.
Lead Industrial Engineer
L&T Technology Services Ltd
Chennai
12.2016 - 08.2020
Engineered digital manufacturing solutions for 20+ clients across using DMAIC tools, SLP, VSM, DES models and
eliminating operational bottlenecks
Developing advanced emulation models using Flexsim 3D and Tecnomatix Plantsim to emulate the pilot codes of
PLCs and WMS thus reducing the commencement time for new line or product
Expert in material flow and traffic simulation by applying Simulation + Genetic Algorithms in variety of
production systems to improve or re-design a value stream or the complete plant layout
Statistical Data Analysis with Minitab and Python to construct SPC charts and establish quality and reliability
tolerances for finished products
Creating full-fledged performance dashboards showing identified KPIs, resource/manpower/MHE utilization,
process bottlenecks, throughput (JPH), Buffers/Conveyors Occupancy, OEE using variety of dynamic pie charts,
bar charts, XY Plots etc
In PowerBI and Tableu
Automating repetitive industrial tasks i.e
Time and Motion Study, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), SWIs,
VWIs using VBA macros
Designing and evaluating the automated process or material handling systems by integrating with futuristic
engineering concepts and practices.
