Process Engineering - TVP/VIF Intern at Yamaha Motor Philippines Inc. (2025-08 – 2025-12)

• Conducted comprehensive time studies of inbound docking operations, recording over 100 cycle time observations to establish baseline process performance.
• Mapped current material flow, measured transport distances, and performed manpower counts across multiple docking and staging areas, documenting distances of material routes and personnel assignments for current workflow analysis.
• Analyzed docking operation video recordings by tagging process steps, capturing timestamps, and classifying value-added, non-value-added, semi-value-added, and check activities, identifying process delays and improvement opportunities.
• Performed workload assessment and line balancing analysis of docking operations, evaluating 12 docking stations and identifying the highest-utilization areas to support the Logistics Improvement Project.
• Conducted time studies on more than 40 production line stations to assess process efficiency, analyzing cycle time observations to support bottleneck identification and workflow optimization.
