Work History
Senior Engineer
General Motors Technical Centre India
Bengaluru, Karnataka
12.2022 - Current
- Manufacturing Simulation & Optimization: Led throughput simulation and manufacturing optimization for global automotive systems, executing baseline model creation, process feasibility testing, and complex "what-if" analysis.
- Throughput & Bottleneck Validation: Conducted throughput validation for global propulsion systems (GPS) and general assembly (GA) shops; identified constraints and performed bottleneck analysis to enable achievement of production targets.
- Advanced Model Building: Developed Level 2 and Level 3 simulation models for GA shops to evaluate material flow, Material Handling Equipment (MHE) utilization, and structural congestion.
- Digital Twin Development: Built a high-fidelity digital twin for the GM Egypt Paint Shop, translating complex layout drawings and video-based processes into a realistic simulation model for a multi-floor, non-standard operation.
- Operational Logic Integration: Integrated plant-specific logistics—including repair booth loops, automated storage and retrieval systems (ASRS), hoist movements, and empty-skid handling—to reveal hidden operational bottlenecks.
- Legacy Model Conversion: Successfully converted legacy CDraw models into Siemens Plant Simulation environments to validate throughput accuracy and process feasibility.
- Risk Mitigation: Validated two-tone production feasibility and paint shop capacity scenarios, equipping stakeholders with a risk-free go/no-go decision tool while maintaining skid-based throughput performance.
