From September 2011 to September 2012 (1 year 1 month) Design and CPMT Engineer @ Was lead and in-charge for heatshields, manifolds and associated hardware. Was involved in the cost reduction of the heatshield by enhancing structural strength and rigidity on introduction of ribs and other stiffness elements to reduce peak fatigue and thermal stress due to NVH/fatigue during the durability tests. Redesigned the entire heatshield due to cracks on the engine and warranty issues. Resolved the problem cost-effectively without comportment on quality using G8D, 5D, FMEA, LFMA and FEA techniques for failure analysis and quality engineering. Using FMEA and fish bone analysis to co-relate with suppliers for component proto-build and production. Lead to the re-design of the manifold for the puma program from 4.7 to 2.8 kg. A massive reduction in the manifold weight that was possible by the use of SiMoCr-Mg alloys and Ansys analysis for material allocation at appropriate areas, design optimisation and fatigue testing.
