Conducted market and cost analysis of spare parts to support circular economy strategies. Developed should-cost and total cost of ownership models comparing refurbishment vs. new manufacturing. Built integrated cost models using BoM, labor, and supplier data. Collaborated cross-functionally in DfX/DfMA workshops and delivered a value-based business case for refurbished parts, including sensitivity, pricing, and margin analysis.

Improved production efficiency through process optimization and automation (PLC, SCADA, HMI). Prepared BoMs and cost estimates to support procurement and sourcing decisions. Applied lean, value stream mapping, and theory of constraints to eliminate bottlenecks. Developed SQL databases and Power BI dashboards for KPI tracking, maintenance, sustainability reporting, and inventory optimization across operations.

Designed, installed, and commissioned industrial and energy systems across manufacturing and mining projects. Applied value engineering, DFM/DfMA, and lifecycle assessment to deliver cost-efficient solutions. Supported procurement with should-cost analysis and supplier benchmarking. Used SolidWorks, Revit, and FEA to design and validate components, ensuring performance, reliability, and cost efficiency in projects.
