Quality Engineer with Adarsh Surgical Works experience who applied 5 Whys and CAPA to address recurring product defects.
What I'm looking for
At Adarsh Surgical Works, I inspected surgical components against ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 standards and kept accurate test records. I used 5 Whys to investigate product defects and supported CAPA efforts to address recurring issues.
My MSc in Production Engineering and Operations Management at Coventry University focused on quality systems, lean manufacturing, and process optimisation. For my dissertation, I researched integrating CPS into manufacturing QMS and recommended strategies to improve quality control, productivity, and cost efficiency.
On an Automated Production Facility project, I designed an electric motor assembly line with robots and cobots. Using DFA/DFM, the design achieved a 25% cost reduction and a 30% productivity increase.
At SSE Energy Solutions, I audited historical invoices and data using advanced Excel analysis, investigated billing discrepancies, and implemented corrective actions. This reduced processing errors by 30%; I also prepared reports on incident trends to support continuous improvement.
