Lean Inventory Management - Chick-fil-A
Process Engineer
The Lean Inventory Implementation project for Chick-fil-A focuses on optimizing the restaurant's inventory management system by applying Lean principles to reduce waste, increase efficiency, and improve overall supply chain operations. The primary objective is to streamline inventory processes, minimize excess stock, and ensure that inventory levels are aligned with demand fluctuations, all while maintaining Chick-fil-A's commitment to high-quality service and product consistency.
​
The project involves conducting an in-depth analysis of current inventory practices, identifying areas of inefficiency or waste, and implementing Lean tools such as just-in-time (JIT) inventory, Kanban systems, and continuous flow principles. By focusing on real-time data, better forecasting, and closer coordination with suppliers, the project aims to reduce inventory holding costs, prevent stockouts, and decrease food waste.
​
Key outcomes of the Lean inventory approach include more accurate stock management, better product availability, reduced overstocking, and improved space utilization within the restaurant's storage areas. The implementation will also lead to enhanced employee productivity, as streamlined processes will allow for a more efficient workflow in receiving, storing, and utilizing inventory.
​
This Lean inventory strategy benefits Chick-fil-A by ensuring smoother operations, enhancing customer satisfaction through quicker service, and driving cost savings through more efficient inventory practices. By continuously monitoring and improving inventory practices, Chick-fil-A will be positioned to respond effectively to fluctuating demand while maintaining operational excellence.
Mechanical Engineer - Leader
The project titled "Design and Development of Fog Condenser" aims to address the growing global water scarcity issue by creating a device capable of extracting potable water from fog. Fog, a natural mixture of air and moisture, presents an opportunity for water harvesting, especially in regions where water is scarce. The device works based on Gay Lussac’s law, where the pressure and temperature of a gas are inversely related. By reducing the pressure of fog, the temperature also decreases, leading to condensation of water vapor, which is then collected as purified drinking water.
​
The Fog Condenser system is designed to extract one liter of potable water from fog in a lightweight and portable unit. The device incorporates an orifice that reduces the fog's pressure and cools it, causing condensation on a net inside the system. The condensed water then drips into a storage tank, which triggers an automatic shutoff when full.
The design includes a 12V relay battery, case fan, orifice, storage tank, and a water level sensor. A Python program is used to calculate the orifice dimensions for optimal performance. CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) analysis was conducted to simulate the system's behavior, confirming the reduction in pressure, velocity, and temperature, leading to condensation.
​
Overall, the Fog Condenser offers a sustainable solution for water harvesting, providing a promising alternative water source in fog-prone regions, thus contributing to combating water scarcity while addressing environmental concerns related to fog.
Design and Development of Blood Group Detection device
Mechanical Engineer - Leader
Many individuals who have lost blood due to an accident die as a result of a delay in detecting their blood group and other blood elements. The orthodox methods used to detect the blood are time consuming and requires human intervention which may result in human error causing divulgence in results and creating serious problems for the patient tested. Also, these methods are tiresome as these have repetitive procedure to be followed for every blood sample. Methods used to detect the blood requires apparatus generally made by plastic, glass and ceramic, which should be discarded after three to four uses or proper cleaning of these apparatus using chemicals is mandatory. Thereby, producing lots of chemical and non-degradable biomedical waste.
​
To solve these problems, a device was designed which will determine the blood group of the road accident prone patients in comparatively less time than the earlier methods used to determine the blood group. Also, to eliminate the human intervention thereby reducing the fatigue.
​
In this project report, the design and development of the “Blood Group Detection device” is proposed. It works on the concept of ABO blood grouping. The objective of this project is to reduce the time required to determine the blood group and to make the device portable.
Design and Development of Proximal Femur Jig
Mechanical Engineer - Leader
The project focuses on improving the design of the traditional Proximal Femur Jig used in orthopedic surgeries. The main limitation of the traditional jig is its heavy weight and the use of an overhead nut, which makes it cumbersome and challenging to handle during surgeries. The proposed design aims to eliminate these issues by focusing on two main aspects: reducing the jig’s weight and improving the tightening mechanism.
​
Weight Reduction:
The proposed design tackles the weight problem by replacing the material used for manufacturing the jig. This change makes the device lighter and more manageable, improving the comfort and efficiency of the surgeons. The weight reduction also contributes to easier handling and minimizes fatigue for the medical professionals, ultimately making the surgical process smoother and more precise.
​
Tightening Mechanism:
One of the key features of the traditional jig that adds complexity is the overhead nut used for tightening. This mechanism requires additional effort and can slow down the surgery process. In the new design, the overhead nut is replaced by a more efficient bevel gear, shaft, and Allen key assembly. This modification allows for more precise tightening with less force, improving the speed and accuracy of the setup.
