• Implemented structured maintenance management and automated reporting across 2 production lines, reducing downtime by ~15% through better planning and spare-parts control. • Drove Lean and Kaizen projects on the module lines, cutting changeover time by ~30% via training plans, standard work, and skill development for operators. • Co-led the upgrade of the plant to a 1.5 MW TOPCon module line, coordinating with OEMs on installation, commissioning, and ramp-up to stable production.

• Supported maintenance and operations on solar module lines, building a strong understanding of end-to-end manufacturing and integration. • Analysed machine breakdowns and root causes and helped redesign the preventive maintenance schedule, increasing PM adherence from ~20% to ~80% in two months. • Contributed to downtime reduction of ~15% by improving failure analysis, documentation, and follow-up actions using Lean and Kaizen principles
