Educational Projects: 
University of Missouri, Rolla 
Lean Manufacturing Project: 
	Project included applying Lean Manufacturing Philosophy to newly launched
General Motors Program at Innertech-Nashville. The project included understanding
the product requirements and process requirements. The team calculated the
takt-time required for assembling the final product. The goal was to implement
Kaizen workshop to modify the processes in ergonomically manner. After improving
the assembly efficiency we targeted the operational efficiency of the material
flow to minimize waste. 

Drawing Vehicles using Unigraphics NX3.0: 
	The project required team to effectively communicate the drawing of different
parts of the cycle by various team members. The project also included having deep
knowledge of MATLAB programming for drawing splines and curves.
