WORK HISTORY
Industrial Engineer @Hyundai Mobis North America
OH, US
Executed front-end module assembly optimization in collaboration with cross-functional and supply chain teams, applying Lean Six Sigma, Kaizen, and SMED methodologies to enhance throughput, reduce material waste, and achieve a 12% improvement in cycle time consistency. Conducted time-motion studies and process mapping across stamping, machining, and assembly operations using MTM, value stream mapping, and digital twin simulations to identify bottlenecks and improve workflow, resulting in a 15% reduction in changeover time. Led workstation redesign initiatives incorporating 5S, Kanban, ergonomic principles, and standardized tooling to improve material flow, operator safety, and fatigue management, while coordinating with suppliers to streamline parts delivery and increase production reliability by 10%. Developed and maintained SOPs, visual work instructions, inspection protocols, and training documentation using MS Visio, SharePoint, and AutoCAD, reducing rework and scrap and improving first-pass yield by 8% in critical automotive assemblies. Implemented Power BI, SQL, and Excel dashboards to monitor KPIs such as OEE, first-pass yield, downtime, process capability, and supplier delivery performance, enabling real-time visibility and data-driven decision-making. Trained and coached operators on Lean Six Sigma, root cause analysis, SPC using Minitab, and continuous improvement practices, strengthening process ownership and reducing defects by 9% while aligning inventory flow with logistics teams.

ABOUT JEEVANAJYOTHI KOCHANA
Industrial Engineer with 4+ years of experience in automotive manufacturing and industrial operations, specializing in Lean Six Sigma, process optimization, and data-driven performance improvement. I have hands-on experience supporting OEM and Tier-1 manufacturing environments, working across stamping, machining, engine, chassis, and vehicle assembly lines.In my current role at Mobis North America, I drive assembly-line optimization initiatives using Lean Six Sigma, Kaizen, SMED, and 5S, delivering measurable improvements in cycle-time consistency, throughput, first-pass yield, and production reliability. I actively collaborate with production, quality, maintenance, and supply chain teams to redesign workstations, improve ergonomics, standardize processes, and enhance material flow. I also develop SOPs, visual work instructions, and training documentation while leveraging Power BI, SQL, and Excel dashboards to monitor KPIs such as OEE, downtime, process capability, and supplier performance.Previously at Mahindra & Mahindra, I supported high-volume automotive manufacturing by conducting time-motion studies, line balancing, and takt-time analysis using AutoCAD and MOST, improving productivity and reducing cycle-time variation across multiple assembly operations. I contributed to MES integration, automation upgrades, poka-yoke implementation, and RFID-based material tracking, while ensuring compliance with IATF 16949 and ISO 9001 standards. My work consistently resulted in reduced downtime, improved first-pass yield, and stabilized production processes.I am skilled in Lean Manufacturing, Six Sigma (Green Belt), MES/ERP systems, Power BI, Minitab, AutoCAD, and supply chain coordination, with a strong passion for continuous improvement, cross-functional collaboration, and operational excellence in manufacturing environments.
