What I'm looking for

I seek a role in production, planning, or process engineering where I can apply lean methods and KPIs to improve efficiency and grow professionally.

I am an Industrial and Production Engineer with hands-on experience in process analysis, line balancing, and KPI-driven performance improvement. I have driven measurable efficiency gains in manufacturing environments through data-driven methods and lean tools.

At Comfit Composite Knit Ltd I led initiatives that improved first-hour production by 20% using root-cause and affinity analysis and increased line efficiency from 45% to 60% through line balancing. I set up KPI-based performance metrics covering absenteeism, 5S, DHU, efficiency and target achievement.

My internships in footwear and automobile production gave me a solid grounding in machine and process observation, assembly line workflows, and practical industrial engineering applications. My undergraduate thesis applied simulation to inventory policy and achieved a 4% improvement over the previous policy.

I bring technical skills in Microsoft Office, Power BI, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe Premiere Pro, paired with leadership, communication, and problem-solving strengths. I seek roles where I can apply lean methods, process engineering, and planning to drive operational excellence.
