The Impact at a Glance

Process Optimization

3 Days 1.5 Days

Reduced the preparation time of feasibility studies by building an automated assessment tool for new oil pump assembly lines.

Data Architecture

40+

Created a structured database of production line components, including precise costs and delivery times to support early-stage manufacturing planning.

The Execution

Engineering Meets Economics

Manufacturing is not just about building parts; it is about building them profitably. My role was positioned precisely at the intersection of production logistics and financial feasibility.

Automated Assessment

Manual data entry in feasibility studies take significant time. I built an automated assessment tool specifically designed for new oil pump assembly lines, cutting the operational time required for these studies in half.

Standardized Frameworks

Designed a standardized pricing and modeling framework for various components. This architecture ensured high consistency and reliability when conducting critical investment evaluations.

Cross-Departmental Collaboration

Data is useless if it's siloed. I collaborated directly with both engineering and finance departments to align cost assumptions on uniform data, which significantly improved overall planning agility.

Professional Growth

What I Learned in the Industry

The Value of Clean Data

I realized that the biggest barrier to rapid decision-making is not a lack of information, but a lack of structured, standardized information. Structuring 40+ components taught me how data architecture drives business speed.

Automation as a Necessity

Reducing study preparation from 3 to 1.5 days proved to me that engineering is not just about designing physical products; it's about designing efficient workflows and eliminating repetitive tasks.
