Worked on enhancing manufacturing throughput in pigment dispersion and ink formulation lines by analyzing end-to-end processes from raw material handling to final packaging. Collaborated closely with production supervisors, R&D chemists, and QA/QC teams in requirement gathering sessions to understand product-specific constraints and compliance standards.• Utilized Lean Six Sigma methodologies to identify bottlenecks and reduce process variation. Led structured Gemba walks, conducted RCA, and facilitated Kaizen events that resulted in a 22% improvement in batch cycle time and a 15% increase in OEE.• Used Creo to model and redesign customized fixtures and ergonomic workstation layouts for ink mixing and filtration operations. Integrated feedback from operators and maintenance teams during iterative design reviews, which reduced changeover time and improved operator safety and accessibility.• Standardized critical processes such as dispersion time, milling parameters, and filtration stages using SOPs, Control Plans, and FMEA documentation. Worked with Quality Assurance to ensure all changes aligned with ISO 9001, cGMP, and environmental regulations.• Built automated Excel tools and Power BI dashboards to track key KPIs including yield, rework rate, downtime, and energy consumption. Conducted weekly cross-functional performance reviews to drive accountability and continuous improvement.• Designed a training program for production staff on new processes, equipment handling, and safety procedures for hazardous chemical operations. built visual work directions and updated all related process papers in compliance with site audit needs.
