Abderrahmane El Houssi

Manufacturing-focused industrial engineering graduate with a Master's degree and hands-on Canadian experience at Siemens Canada, supporting production through CAD design, tooling and workstation improvements, manufacturing documentation, sheet-metal programming, root-cause analysis, corrective actions, and continuous improvement. Additional experience in procurement, supplier follow-up, maintenance, inventory planning, and data analysis. Comfortable working on the shop floor, interpreting technical drawings, coordinating across functions, and carrying improvement work from problem definition through validation and implementation.

Basic familiarity with SAP and academic exposure to CATIA, complemented by practical experience in Creo Parametric, Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD, Excel/VBA, and Power BI.

Manufacturing Engineering Intern – Methods & Continuous Improvement at Siemens Canada (2025-09 – 2026-04)

• Delivered or supported 15+ manufacturing design and continuous-improvement assignments from problem definition through research, concept development, prototyping, validation, documentation, and shop-floor implementation.
• Designed and modified production parts, assemblies, jigs, fixtures, and workstation components using Creo Parametric and Autodesk Inventor; prepared 15+ technical drawings, visual work instructions, and standardized production records.
• Programmed sheet-metal components in BOOST and supported preparation of manufacturing files and production work packages, strengthening understanding of fabrication requirements and downstream production needs.
• Investigated manufacturing and workflow problems using direct observation, FMEA/AMDEC, 5 Whys, root-cause analysis, and corrective-action methods; translated findings into practical design or process changes.
• Improved workstation layouts, material handling, safety, and ergonomics through shop-floor analysis, risk assessment, prototype testing, and iterative design modifications.
• Collaborated with 7+ stakeholders across 3+ functions, including operators, maintenance, and production, to clarify requirements, review concepts, validate solutions, and support implementation.
• Supported 5S/6S audit activities and SST/EHS initiatives; created clear technical documentation to improve consistency, workplace organization, and safe execution of production tasks.
• Worked with SAP in the Siemens manufacturing environment, gaining basic familiarity with ERP-based production and operational information.

Engineering - Purchasing Department at Promark (2022-01 – 2022-07)

• Monitored purchase orders, supported purchase-order issuance, and followed up with suppliers to help maintain delivery commitments and material availability.
• Supported purchasing negotiations by collecting and organizing supplier data on pricing, lead times, and performance for internal review.

Maintenance & Continuous Improvement Intern at DELIS (2021-02 – 2021-07)

• Audited 250+ spare parts and built a structured database covering average consumption, lead time, and criticality to support maintenance planning and inventory decisions.
• Classified 18 machines and 80+ parts using ABC analysis to prioritize critical equipment and materials and focus inventory-management effort.
• Calculated minimum, maximum, safety-stock, and reorder-point levels to reduce stockout risk and support equipment availability.
• Developed an Excel-VBA tool to manage spare parts, purchase orders, and maintenance history, improving traceability and access to operational information.
• Implemented a 5S stockroom improvement project and contributed to a DMAIC-based preventive-maintenance plan and critical-parts procedures.

Mechanical Engineering Intern at Carrier (2019-04 – 2019-06)

• Analyzed diesel-powered refrigeration units, component functions, recurring failure modes, and maintenance requirements in an industrial service environment.
• Participated in on-site inspections and troubleshooting, comparing reported problems with equipment condition and technical information to support fault identification.
• Investigated abnormal mechanical behaviour and documented observations, troubleshooting findings, and recommended actions for follow-up.
• Developed practical exposure to mechanical assemblies, maintenance constraints, reliability issues, and the relationship between equipment design, operating conditions, and serviceability.
