Kunal Gaikwad

I am an Industrial Engineer with over four years of hands-on experience improving operations in high-volume manufacturing and process-driven environments. I focus on motion analysis, ergonomic assessment, and process optimization to reduce downtime and increase output.

At General Motors I improved equipment uptime by 18% and reclaimed workspace through AutoCAD layout redesigns, while implementing Excel-QI Macros for simulation and forecasting. I deliver measurable gains in layout efficiency, cycle-time reduction, and labor forecasting.

Previously at Reliance Industries I applied Lean DMAIC methods and Minitab-driven statistical controls to raise Cp/Cpk and reduce cycle transition times, and I created visual training materials that cut onboarding time significantly. I coordinate cross-functional teams to prioritize improvements and sustain results.

I bring strong technical capability in Excel automation, Minitab, QI Macros, AutoCAD and ERP systems, combined with Lean, Six Sigma (Green Belt) and ergonomic best practices, to drive continuous improvement and operational excellence.
