-Project Planning & NPD:
- Successfully implemented the BT-5 project for Gearbox, Differential, and Cylinder Block production lines.
- Led the planning and development of new components as part of the BT-5 project.

-Process Development & Improvement:
- Designed and optimized processes for the BT-5 project, including preparation of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
- Line Balancing & Capacity Improvement:
- Enhanced cycle time and reduced bottlenecks on the Gearbox production line.
- Facilitated the procurement and integration of new Horizontal Machining Centers (HMC) to improve capacity.

- Project Planning & Development:
- Spearheaded the development of new product variants, including Design Reviews (DR), Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (PFMEA), Process Sheets, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) documentation.
- Managed Engineering Changes, Development Approval Processes (DAP), and Pre-Delivery Inspections (PDI) to ensure successful trial regulations.

- New Product Development:
- Successfully developed 22 new variants within a tight one-month timeline, achieving Start of Vehicle Production (SOVP) readiness for key models including SOVP 963/969, 855 Shuttle, 843 2WD, and 855 4WD.

- Project Execution:
- Led the tooling and fixture design project for the Light Weight Tractor (LWT) assembly line, ensuring seamless integration into production.

- Facility Planning & Machine Installation:
- Oversaw the planning and installation of new machinery, including Production Part Approval Process (PPAP) documentation, to support SOVP component readiness.

- Cycle Time Optimization:
- Successfully led a project that reduced cycle time by 27 minutes for GB 60 HP machining, significantly enhancing operational efficiency and throughput.

- Layout Planning:
- Played a key role in the design and implementation of layout plans for the rear cover line, including the relocation of miscellaneous stores in New Product Development (NPD), leading to streamlined operations and increased productivity.

- Foundry Process Optimization:
- Implemented innovative process and workflow optimizations in the foundry, resulting in substantial reductions in material waste and energy consumption.
