Naga Lakshmi Sravani Kuruganti

Mechanical Design Engineer. Designed over twenty Substation and Pad mount transformers up

to 14MVA according to ANSI , IEEE and CSA standards depending on customer

requirements Project lead engineer responsible for creating 3D Models,

mechanical drawings, Nameplates, Bill Of Materials As a mechanical Engineer, proof read the BOM, Upload the long

lead time items at the design stage and once approvals are received, upload the short lead time items on the BOM so as to avoid any shortage of parts

Check that we always have the least amount of inventory so as to reduce the inventory costs

Provide round the clock technical phone support to the manufacturing floor personnel.

the sales

Working on transferring (SP) Small Power from PT(Power Transformers) to DT(Distribution Transformers) hence utilizing the PT utility only for Medium Power, thereby increasing the capacity as well as the sales of both the plants

Represent Engineering Department in the team in-charge of setting up an additional Distribution Transformer manufacturing facility

Identified and documented designs and processes for design of small power transformers, resulting in reduction of engineering time Introduced standardized Quality Assurance processes for drawings

Save $25000 a month by identifying potential design consideration to improve quality and reduce cost of each transformer

Represent the engineering department in the monthly shop inspection team to identify safety hazards and address cleanliness in the work place in accordance with 5S principles

Also once every 4months, participate in inventory count, where we count each and every part in the shop and update our records to maintain the accuracy of our systems

As a Mechanical Design Engineer, Read the specifications given by the customer Design using Inventor, as well as AutoCAD First Check the Shear modulus of the tank to see if the stiffening provided

is good. From the design provided by the Electrical Engineer, I make the Core and

Coil Assembly. Then I make my tank, check my clearances . Check the minimum and maximum oil levels depending on the place the

transformer is shipping to and decide how to place the radiators, and change the design if required. Select and place the gauges depending on the ANSI or CSA Standards after reading the customer requirements.

After getting the approvals, make the required documents for the shop and Complete the Bill of materials, upload the BOM in SAP so as to get all the parts in house at the required time.

DESIGNED UPTO 25 TRANSFORMERS OUT OF WHICH 20 OF THEM SHIFTED SINCE OCTOBER 2012 TO PRESENT. CANNOT ADD PICTURES OF THE TRANSFORMERS I DESIGNED AS IT IS CONFIDENTIAL TO THE COMPANY.

Assisted in teaching the courses Thermodynamics(ME219) ,Thermal Analysis (ME227) for 150 students

Prepared the solutions to the assignments , graded the home works and exams

Conducted help sessions and proctored the tests.

Came up with a design of the car, then designed the car using 2D AutoCAD

Applied the principles of Finite Element Analysis to perform the analysis using ANSYS

Tested and optimized the design by structural analysis

Fabricated the tested design

Worked as an intern

Performed the “Finite Element Analysis” on Steam Turbines up to 120MW

It included the 2D modeling of the turbine in AutoCAD

ANSYS was used to determine the thermal stresses on the turbine.

Design optimization was then performed to get a minimum stress design

Performed the Analysis of a water tower for natural frequency

Performed the Analysis of a pressure vessel subjected to mechanical and thermal loading

Performed linear and nonlinear analysis of a plate. Applied the principles of Finite Element Analysis to

perform the analysis Applied the Lean Techniques of Value Stream

Mapping, Thought Process Mapping, 5S, Poka-yoke, Kaizen, SWOT Analysis, Benchmarking hence improving the management by reducing the process time and saving $900 a month at the Dominos outlet at Rolla. Prepared a report of the tools used and the money saved.

3+ year’s experience in modeling, design and Analysis Adept with Solid Modeling, Surface Modeling, Assembly and

Drafting using the AutoCAD, Inventor, Pro/E, Catia V5, Unigraphics

Experienced in Structural, Linear, Nonlinear and Thermal Analysis using ABAQUS and ANSYS on plates, beams, trusses, pressure vessel, water tower, steam turbine rotor and automobiles

Good Knowledge of using the Six-sigma tools like Gage R&R, Capability & Regression Analysis, FMEA, Hypothesis test, DOE.

Adept with making Bill Of Materials , ordering materials, and loading the information in SAP

Good knowledge of Lean tools like Thought Process Mapping, 5S ,Poka-yoke, Kaizen, SWOT Analysis, Benchmarking

Proficient with MS Office tools for documenting and presenting the work.

Good Communication and Interpersonal skills
