A).He took total charge of a project in 2008-2009 for installing / commissioning a new factory for manufacturing PET preforms for water and CSD apart from closures starting from equipment selection techno-commercial negotiations plant lay out ( end to end ) that runs successfully and profitably .
B ) He took active part in a global project ( 2003 - 2004 ) in developing customers for the manufacture of BOPP laminated woven bags for food and pet- food packaging applications. This involves detailed involvement of developing the products to customer's specifications establishing process sytems and standards in the extrusion lamination printing and bag making lines .

C. He took charge of a project for establishing process standards by optimizing the process inputs and equipment design for thin walled packaging for a Malaysian customer . Earlier this process was running with lot of inconsistency and unacceptable rejection levels and scrap generation 2009-2010 :He has assisted a key customer who was supplying injection molded assemblies to a large volume liquor company . The product involved totally 16 identical molds ( 2 cavity each ) for the same part . The challenge was to get all 16 x 2 = 32 cavities produced from 16 machines same in terms of dimensional consistency and functional performance . These 32 parts do get assembled with containers from multi cavity molds . The permutation and combination of the cross cavity matching was enormous that posed the challenge of fitment and functional consistency . He streamlined a structured and disciplined molding process methodology with an acceptable operation window and established the process engineering standards .2001-2002:He was fully involved in a electrical switch manufacturing project with more than 100 designs in terms of machine, mold & material selection establishment of process parameters for successful productionizing . He also participated in implementing a structured trouble shooting methodology for the entire spectrum of molding for the switch molding project 2010-2012 He has handled many projects for improvement of operational efficiency that involves productivity improvement ( around 18 to 20 % ) which helped save significant investment costs on capital equipment and tools . Also this resulted in a enery saving of around 12 % a manpower reduction of 15 % and material saving of 5 % .2006-2007 :He has designed many customized screw designs for specific materials for effective high volume production with low rejects which had been a challenge to the molder . He has suggested appropriate changes in the tool design machine configuration and process design that helped the molder to come out of most of the process and quality related issues .
