Advanced Vehicle Industrial Engineer at General Motors who cut SDV value-added content by 45%.

India
Message

At General Motors, I lead Base Engineered Content and headcount estimation for Software Defined Vehicles across gasoline, battery electric, and fuel cell programs. Over seven months, I helped reduce value-added content by 45%, with potential reductions in workstations and capital investment.

I also lead Base Engineered Content reduction workshops and participate in Design for Assembly workshops. Three improvement ideas I drove delivered $1.33 million per year in savings and reduced hours per vehicle by 0.007.

At Caresoft Global, I optimized powertrain conveyor strategy and space and equipment utilization, realizing $3.25 million in cost avoidance. I also improved material flow at the chassis decking loop and end of chassis line, contributing to $1.28 million in savings.

Earlier, I reduced tractor assembly line cycle time by 28% at Mahindra USA, Inc. and identified around $80,000 per year in savings. I bring experience in assembly line design, material flow planning, time studies, and continuous improvement, supported by an M.S. in Industrial Engineering from Texas Tech University.
