I'm a senior lean engineering professional with a unique blend of academic & corporate management experience. I'm not only a notable architect of knowledge-based lean product development (LPD) technology/ solutions for doing more with less, but I am also an award winning researcher/ innovator -- recognized for my extensive publications, accomplishments, contributions and services to the engineering community at large.
I'm known best for delivering many innovative, efficient and practical knowledge-based engineering (KBE) solutions to product design and development using off-the-self product life-cycle management (PLM) tools (like CATIA or NX) for aerospace & automotive companies.
I help organizations lean their process by working closely with their existing team, process and tools & identifying their inherent gaps between management's expectations, core technologies, & actual team performance or production throughputs.
I’m a collaborative, hands-on thought leader with a passion for improving productivity, quality and profitability. I am pioneer in combining knowledge-capture technologies efficiently with industrial automation needs. I am very good at improving the company’s profitability and growth by mining the knowledge from the subject matter experts (SMEs) -- those who possess the Intellectual properties (IPs) so that others, who need their knowledge, can produce equal or better results (or products) in less time and costs.
I never "hold cards close to my chest" since I believe in sharing knowledge and teaching others what I've learned. As such, in addition to publishing “how to” techniques, I am an exceptional educator, manager & leader. I founded two journals of international fame. Till today, I am the founding Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Concurrent Engineering now entering its 30th year of continuous publication. I wrote a two-volume textbooks entitled “Concurrent Engineering (CE) Fundamentals” published by Prentice Hall. I am a life-time Fellow of ASME.
