I was Rutuja's immediate supervisor at Solidoodle. Rutuja has a strong background in both Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Engineering which allowed her to hit the ground running and to make an immediate impact upon her arrival. During her tenure at Solidoodle Rutuja conducted time studies of all production areas, updated and developed station to station work instructions and assisted me in developing and implementing tool control per station within the facility. These efforts resulted in labor savings and in a reduction of steps that allowed us to divert the labor saved to accommodate increased production coming into the company through orders. Rutuja also developed a matrix and time study whereby we were able to plan and predict the printed parts needed without over producing or under producing those parts. Prior to her engagement in the area the shop floor had traditionally encountered overages and shortages that would slow or stop the line for hours at a time resulting in production delays and missed shipping schedules weekly. Rutuja’s efforts allowed us to plan the correct parts for the correct models being assembled and allowed the time lost to be regained in the form of production and completed shipping schedules. Rutuja was also responsible for our quality control and quality management area. Upon her arrival at Solidoodle our printed part output was seeing high reject rates. Rutuja assisted in the coordination of a preventive maintenance program with our repair team that tracked our PM and enabled us to reduce the reject rate to just over three percent resulting in both time and materials savings. Additionally, Rutuja coordinated the repair and retune program for customers returning their units for repair, retune or service. Rutuja oversaw the reduction of the backlog of repairs and retunes from three months to a turnaround of seventy two hours while coordinating with Customer Service to provide timely information on the return of their unit. I would recommend Rutuja for any position where an organization’s needs are similar to those listed above. She is highly adaptable and works very well with all departments and with all team members.

Rutuja was a key addition to our management team and she was instrumental in improving our production efficiency. Rutuja performed time studies, put quality assurance testing procedures in place and completely overhauled our repair process. Her efforts directly improved the quality of our products and reduced the number of hardware issues our customers experienced. Additionally, Rutuja was a great influence on others and helped to make the production floor an efficient and fun place to work. I would welcome the opportunity to work with Rutuja again and highly recommend her.
