This operational background allows me to conduct audits that go beyond checking checklists; I look for practical process improvements that drive Lean efficiency and engineering value.Sector Expertise:Heavy Engineering: Experience with Bulk Material Handling (Conveyors, Stackers) at Bevcon Wayors and Industrial Drives (Hydrodynamic Couplings) at Voith Turbo.Mobility: Specialized quality experience in Automotive (IATF) and Railway (Metro Couplers) supply chains.Defense: R&D Quality for critical defense components (Torpedo Batteries) at HBL Power Systems.Core Competencies:Auditing: ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, and VDA 6.3 awareness.Operational Excellence: Lean Six Sigma Black Belt (Waste Reduction, 5S, Continuous Improvement), GD & T, and Root Cause Analysis.Technical: Siemens NX (Design), Minitab, and Process Optimization.My goal is to help organizations improve their Quality & EHS performance by applying a balanced \"Process Approach\"—combining strict compliance with practical engineering logic.
