PROJECT
• DeeZee Truck Manufacturer, United States, IA (Oct 2024 ~ Dec 2024)
◦ Data Analysis position for Quality Control
▪️Collaborated with DeeZee's quality engineers to analyze large datasets for quality stability using Excel for data preprocessing, MATLAB for in-depth analysis, and R programming for Cpk, Ppk graphs, histogram, and control charts for visualization.
▪️Analyzed process capability (Cpk, Ppk) for two running board parts using 22 measurements each, and leveraging a dataset of 4,089 parts spanning from January 2020 to October 2024. Data included incorrect values, duplicates, and gaps due to Covid-19 disruptions.
▪️Supported quality improvement for Ford and DeeZee by visualizing data trends and identifying areas for further improvement.
▪️Conducted a Gage R&R study on DeeZee's laser measuring system to identify inconsistencies affecting measurement stability. Assessed the impact of diagonal, horizontal, and vertical measurement variations on meeting Ford's Ppk specification of 1.33.
▪️Contributed to solutions (tool recalibration, operator training, and GO/NO-GO implementation) for process reliability.
