Crazy towards – How do machines work? Abhinay had a desire for Mechanical Engineering from childhood. He completed his Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering with developing skills in SolidWorks, CATIA, AutoCAD, and ANSYS through academic and freelancing projects, and Lean Manufacturing and Lean Six Sigma methodologies. With a successful industrial project, he was able to get certified as Lean Six Sigma Greenbelt.
After graduating with a Master of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering, he started as a Mechanical Engineering in Sheet Metal manufacturing where he gained in-depth knowledge in Sheet Metal design, fabrication, Programming Laser CNCs, and Turret Punches. As a cross-functional team player, he helps other departments as well.

My work experience is a mixture of Full-time job, Internships and Commercial projects.
· Managing SAP implementation project for US operations -
1. Collection of user feedback
2. Analyze and assess any gaps in process or module with respective Process owners and communicate the same with SAP develepment team
3. Perform process cycle test of new additions or modifications in process or module
4. Decision making for issue-escalation proritiies, SODs, authorization management
· Manage on-going or plan for upcoming internal and external projects
· Perform Production cost analysis to ensure profitability, analyze areas of loss, suggest improvement and optimization Practices to bring profitability in 30-40% range
· Managing SAP implementation project for US operations
· Design Sheet Metal CAD models using SolidWorks and draft Blueprints as per customer requirement using SolidWorks, AutoCAD or Draftsight for stamped, laser-cut, and formed parts
· Perform Production cost analysis to ensure profitability, analyze areas of loss, suggest improvement and optimization Practices to bring profitability in 30-40% range
· Perform New Product Prototyping and Development for new or existing customers to check the manufacturability
· Update the EstiTrack ERP system with documentation and drawings as per the ECNs or Action Request Form
· The objective of the project is to increase the throughput of A320neo Thrust reverser.
· LSS tools are used to solve the bottleneck present at Rout and Trim section of the production line.
· Data collected from MRAS six sigma team was analyzed, Takt time, Lead time were calculated during Measure phase.
· Later in Analyze phase FMEA, 5 Ys, Assembly line balancing calculations were done.ss
· With the use of SWIP, required number of workstations were calculated to have the desired throughput. and a new layout was designed.
· Design CAD models as per the requirement for the research.
· Convert the CAD models to Gcodes or write Gcodes for 3D printing.
· Print the models on 3D printer using Injection method.
List of projects contain projects done during Bachelor's and Master's Degree

· With the use of SWIP, required number of workstations were calculated to have the desired throughput and a new layout was designed.
· For this project, the Samsung Brightside phone was used. It was disassembled and various chips and PCB was separated.
· Chips like screen processor, RAM, CPU, and PCB were cross-sectioned by molding them in epoxy resin and grinding till the desired position.
· The cross-sections were analyzed using X-ray imaging, Environmental Scanning Electron Microscope.
· Thermal Analysis was done for the Screen processor and potential improvement was suggested accordingly.
· Used ANSYS workbench for Static Analysis
· Regular leaf spring material and Composite Material - E-glass was used for Analysis.
· Results were compared in terms of Stress, Strain, Deformation and Weight saving.
· Created a paper report that included problem statement, need for composite materials, analysis, comparison and conclusion.
· Worked in a group of 4 in which the goal was to design a heating and cooling plant for the university campus.
· We had given 4 different cases for a design of heating and cooling plant.
· Completed the project by giving the recommendation for the best case from the given 4 cases for a heating and cooling plant.
· Used 'EES' software for coding the design which provided a proof for validating the decision, P-V and T-H plots.
· Led a group of 3 in which the goal was to design a Poka Yoke system which helped to minimize the chances of human error.
· Independently designed and modelled the automated system using Solidworks and was analyzed by using ANSYS.
· Completed the project at 1/10th price of the product in market as well as ahead of schedule.
· Created a 90-page report that included concept, drawings, analysis and implementation method.
· In this project/seminar the MAN DF(Diesel + Natural Gas) was used. This was done by using research and data given by MAN Engine, Germany.
· Working, differences and advantages were reviewed compared to Conventional Diesel engine, Dual Fuel(Petrol + Natural Gas).
· Generated a 10-page review report which explained the benefits and applications of the Dual Fuel technology.
