Graduate Project Researcher (Lean Six Sigma) at MAADEN (2023-01 – Present)
In collaboration with King Saud University
- Led a cross-functional team of engineers and operators to resolve frequent scrubber shutdowns using DMAIC methodology.
- Analyzed 24-hour amperage datasets for 6 scrubber fans and 4 pumps at 6-minute intervals to identify mechanical failure patterns and operational anomalies.
- Utilized Time-Series Visualization to pinpoint critical amperage drops (e.g., Train A KO1/KO2 Fan) and spikes (e.g., First Stage Pump 157A spike), correlating them to belt slips, impeller damage, and suction blockages.
- Led brainstorming sessions with Maintenance and Operations teams to categorize root causes across Environment, Process, and Manpower using Ishikawa (Fishbone) diagrams.
- Defined "Early Warning" triggers based on abnormal amperage behavior to transition the facility from reactive repairs to Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM).
- Engineered a solution to stabilize the scrubber system, directly mitigating risks of hazardous gas leaks and ensuring continuous adherence to environmental regulations.
- Skills used: Lean Six Sigma (DMAIC), Root Cause Analysis (RCA), Time-Series Analysis, Ishikawa Diagrams, SOP Development, Environmental Compliance.
AI Engineer & Software Development Engineer (Remote) at Life Analytics (2021-01 – 2023-12)
