  - Understanding of Quality Pareto and conducting root cause analysis - Leading Failure Review Board (FRB) for multiple projects. Driving FRACAS using 8D methodology.- Based on Lessons learned, developed product-level Life test for Refrigerator. Helped capture multiple issues during the design phase, thus enabling a predicable launch.- Work on designing and executing different accelerated testing using methods like ALT/ HALT/ Test to Fail/ Test to Learn that will help to detect issues early in design life cycle.- Proficient in use of Reliasoft tools like Weibull, BlockSIM, ALTA..- Effective usage of FMEA, Block diagram, Product and Process maps to understand potential failure modes and critical parameters (x's) in the design and process driving those failure modes.- Verify the design margin.- Develop new specifications to capture the critical learning into a standard process. Show less Senior Manager - Electronics execution - INDIA (JUL’11– Jun'13)> Reduced field failures of electronics from >10% to < 0.3%, using a systematic problem-solving approach, Design for Reliability, Design for Quality. > Learnt about the real field conditions and applied them in upgrading product requirements and test methods. Major issues were permanently eliminated ensuring significantly less TCQ, Cost of Servicing.> Drove resolutions to NDF (No Defect Found) or NAD (No Apparent Defect) issues, through experimentation, field customer visits, and ultimately defining a new servicing process. > Worked with Cross-functional teams (Mktg, Projects, Quality, procurement, and Manufacturing) to deliver at Quality programs. Drove soft launch and safe launch activities from Quality perspective.>Guide technical streams (HW, SW development) and SQC to ensure process adherence, and communication of the issues back to business teams. > Define Quality targets for NPI projects and track implementation of Quality projects.> New Vendor development - PPAP, DFM/DFA, project tracking, Quality planning & implementation.> Quality Improvements – Work with plant quality teams, service to understand areas of Quality improvement. Track the progress using different metrics like SIR, MCR.> Bringing in reliability engineering initiatives like PoF, HALT/HASS, MEOST,D/P FMEA, 8D, thought mapping into product development to improve predictability. Product Approvals & Lab Operations– ASIA (OCT’08 – JUL’11)> Expanded the organization in China by defining and implementing the strategy for Product approvals using own new labs as well as supplier's lab, strongly based on ISO/IEC17025.>Led the Product Approvals (design) & Lab Operations function for India & China.>Define the approvals criterion for all the new products development, changes. >Facilitate creation of a test plan based on the change by referring FMEA, Product and process maps, approval criteria, global and local specs.
