Having graduated with a master’s degree in operations management from Heriot-Watt University,

Edinburgh, I specialize in integrating emerging technologies such as automation and data analytics into traditional manufacturing processes. Utilizing advanced tools and methodologies like Six Sigma, Lean

Manufacturing, and Digital Transformation, I have significantly enhanced production efficiency,

eliminated waste, and increased overall productivity. My skills in vendor and stakeholder management,

supply chain integration, and continuous improvement position

• Designed and implemented new manufacturing processes using Six Sigma methodologies,

improving efficiency by 13% and increasing output by 75 parts/shift.

• Applied MOST method improvements and optimized facility layouts with AutoCAD, resulting in a 20% reduction in lead times.
• Increased overall equipment efficiency from 68% to 84% through strategic line balancing and cycle time reduction, leveraging DMAIC, and Kaizen methodologies.
• Adopted lean 8 waste principles, achieving £1800/annum in cost savings and a 5% reduction in waste.
• Led coaching and mentoring initiatives to develop team members' skills and knowledge in

Teamcenter.

• Innovated streamlined process Manufacturing assembly by tracking key performance indicators

(KPIs) such as efficiency gains, cost reductions, and quality improvements significantly decreased scrap costs for pressing rejections achieved with an effective teamwork.

• Led quality enhancement initiatives through seamless collaboration with suppliers and customers,

utilizing SPC charts, daily tracking, cross-functional collaboration.
