WORK HISTORY
Associate Engineer @The Sherwin-Williams Manufacturing Company
OH, US
Partnered with team on new product commercialization and lab-to-plant scale-up initiatives, transferringformulations to full-scale manufacturing while improving process robustness, yield, and time-to-market. Designed and executed DOE-based process and formulation experiments, identifying critical parameters andapplying SPC/Six Sigma to reduce batch variability and improve first-pass quality by 20–25%. Managed cross-functional NPI and continuous improvement projects, developing project plans, timelines, anddeliverables while collaborating with Manufacturing, Quality, and Operations teams. Analyzed production data using Minitab and statistical tools, driving cost optimization, cycle-time reduction, and troubleshooting via RCA/FMEA, delivering 10–15% savings and consistent product performance.
EDUCATION
Parul University
Bachelor of Science, Chemical Engineering
Cleveland State University
Master of Science, Chemical Engineering
ABOUT PREET P.
Chemical Process Engineer specializing in paints and coatings commercialization, batch manufacturing, and lab-to-plant scale-up, with experience across global manufacturing environments in the U.S. and India. I focus on converting R&D formulations into stable, scalable, and cost-effective production processes while improving quality, throughput, and operational reliability.Currently at The Sherwin-Williams Company, I support new product introductions (NPI) and continuous improvement initiatives, applying DOE, SPC, and Lean Six Sigma methodologies to reduce batch variability and improve first-pass quality by 20–25%. My work integrates statistical analysis, process optimization, and cross-functional collaboration to shorten time-to-market and deliver measurable cost and efficiency gains.Previously at Asian Paints, I led process optimization for water-based emulsions, primers, enamels, and putties, scaling more than 12 formulations from lab to commercial production with 95%+ first-pass yield. I developed PFDs, P & IDs, and mass & energy balances, optimized dispersion, milling, and letdown operations, and implemented PLC/HMI automation to enhance batch repeatability and reduce manual intervention. I also leveraged Aspen Plus, Minitab, Power BI, and advanced Excel dashboards to drive data-based decisions that improved plant productivity by 18%.My technical strengths include:Batch process design, scale-up, and troubleshootingDOE, SPC, RCA, and FMEA for variability reductionPLC/HMI automation and process controlAspen Plus simulation and manufacturing analyticsSustainability initiatives (VOC reduction, solvent recovery, waste minimization)I enjoy working at the intersection of engineering, manufacturing, quality, and operations, solving complex process challenges and delivering results that matter on the plant floor. Cleveland, Ohio Open to roles in process engineering, manufacturing optimization, automation, and sustainable materials Always open to meaningful conversations and collaborations
