New Model Development
- Reduced costs and improved efficiency by simulating components for a cost-effective 6-speed transmission system.
- Played a pivotal role in proposing design countermeasures for 10+ drivetrain sub-assembly components, 75% implemented with minimal modifications
- Enhanced product competitiveness by contributing to CAE simulation of sub-assembly level in the automotive drivetrain, delivering the objective judgment of designs for 70+ components in 10+ models such as Ertiga, Ciaz, Ignis, Brezza, Jimny, etc., for over 10 Markets.
- Reduced testing failure issues in the drivetrain by working closely with testing teams to propose and implement a Strength and Durability Simulation
- Improved correlation between simulation and real-world testing to 90%+ (from 75%); Saved ~500 machine-hours, 150 man-hours in testing
- Saving of 1.6 million rupees annually was delivered through Cost and Weight Optimization.
Testing/Market Failure Analysis
- Improved market performance by addressing 20+ market quality and testing failure issues in automotive drivetrain systems.
- Generated alternative design proposals and collaborated with cross-functional teams of 3-7 members of diverse cultures, seniority, and competencies (Design & Development, Testing, and Production), significantly improving process capabilities.
- Resolved customer complaints through design modifications such as strength optimization and noise and Vibration reduction
New Simulation Process Development
- Boosted product reliability by developing CAE simulation methodologies and creating standard documents for automotive drivetrain components.
- This action substantially reduced testing iterations and accelerated development timelines.
- Reduction in potential 200 machine-hours and 50 man-hours in testing per model
- Achieved industry-leading precision by building simulation-to-testing correlations for new drivetrain systems, achieving 95% correlation (Base Criteria ~ 90%) for sheet metal clamps and brackets, which enhanced design validation accuracy.
- Drove innovation by singlehandedly developing and implementing a new Strength and Durability Simulation Methodology in collaboration with the testing team, improving component longevity and enhancing product reliability.
