  Priya Mangala Ancillaries

  Mar 2017 - Sept 2017

  Graduate Engineer

  Being an Engineer in the production industry, which is a supplier for manufacturers such as Amalgamations VALEO, RANE TRW steering systems, and Pump division, KUBS safes, and locks Pvt. ltd and sub-supplier for Daimler, VOLVO, etc. I've gained an enormous advantage in grasping and excelling in a wide manufacturing atmosphere. Metal forming and computer-based numerical control manufacturing processes have given me a deep insight into design, estimation, procurement, process planning, quality management system, and supply chain management. Moreover, I enjoyed the privilege of client servicing opportunities. where I was able to communicate with every client and record their critical requirements without any intermediate medium, this allowed me to deliver 100% of their need and enable the value of the business and customer delight.Roles performed:> New product development> Production process - planning and control > Performing internal quality audit> Lean implementation Show less
