Vijay Parthasarathy's Problem Solving Experience:

1. Product Engineer for successfully introducing 10 new Products from bench/Pilot Scale to manufacturing using the Stage-Gate process
2. * Delivered 35% reduction in analytical testing costs ($200K) – process improvements, eliminating testing
3. * Consolidated Raw materials resulting in quality improvement and 15% reduction ($250K) in inventory costs
4. * Coordinated with Supply Chain Planners and scheduled products that would yield minimum Product change waste thereby minimizing Yield losses
5. * Established a ‘Continuous Improvement Office’, identified Improvement Specialists to run CI activities,
   * Implemented ‘Training Program’ of Lean principles - Kaizen, 3P Process, Time Analysis & Observation, Gemba, 5S, Visual Controls, Standard Work, Jidoka, Set-up reduction, Value Stream Mapping;
   * Identified, developed, and implemented plans to address a portfolio of Improvement projects that were cross-divisional, cross-functional, and aligned with divisional strategies;
   * Established and implemented project management structure, progress reporting, and benchmarking and metrics program to demonstrate delivery of results
6. * I have Optimized Distillation systems utilizing Six Sigma Black Belt tools including Design of Experiments resulting in increased Productivity ($ 850K), and reduced variability;
7. * I have implemented the principles of ‘Stable Operations’ and Lean / Continuous Improvement methods in chemical production systems to identify deviations and drive improvement efforts, leading to increased Product Yield (25 – 30%), reduced Cycle time, reduced set-up time, and minimized process variability, that resulting in savings of $ 2M+
