Evaluation of screwdriver handles using surface electromyography |Western Michigan University | August- December 2015 |
United states.
Determined the effects on selected forearm muscles while performing screw driving task with three different handles.
Analyzed Effect on the Different forearm muscles through EMG activity.
The study affirmed the way to improve the workers safety, risk-free from musculoskeletal disorders.
Application of continuous Improvement in Fastener Manufacturing |Western Michigan University | January April 2016 |
United states
Enhanced production process and made improvements to the manufacturing streamline for a faster and better outcome and
with high-quality products by applying lean manufacturing Techniques.
Constructed future state value stream mapping by inducing all the necessary changes in the manufacturing Process which
yields in a decrement of manufacturing lead time, elimination of waste and increment in productivity.
Used current state value stream mapping to locate and eliminate bottleneck stations.
Performed a production process analysis resulting alterations in different process like metal softening, unnecessary
transportation between different stations for product cost reduction, Improved efficiency, added robustness along with
improved product quality.
