Hi My name is Prathmesh Khairnar. I come from core industry background starting from the education till date. I have completed my Bachelor’s Degree in Production and Industrial Engineering from COEP (2010-14 Batch). Then I worked with LG Electronics Ind Pvt Ltd for around 1.5 yrs. In LG my role was into Manufacturing Engineering which is related to industrial engineering. It was bridge role between NPRD and Production department to ease the smooth running of new products.
Parallelly I had cleared GATE exam with AIR 111, so I could go for Masters. I got selected for NIT Trichy, Tamilnadu for MTech. I completed my MTech in Industrial Engineering and Management (2016-18 Batch). There I got placed into VKL Food Solutions Enterprise as a Post Graduate Trainee at Alleppey, Kerala. There I worked into Operations broadly starting from RM arrival till the FG dispatch related activities. It was quite different experience to work with Keralites due to language barrier.
Currently I am working with UPL at Ankleshwar, Gujarat. Here my role is as business excellence engineer which deals with overall improvement related projects and activities. This is more of a scope, role and company I wanted to work with. Hoping for the best ahead.
So for Industrial engineer, graduation in Industrial Engineering is enough but you are going for masters that’s better. To talk about certifications, one must have Yellow Belt, Green Belt Six Sigma Certification to start with. Advance excel skills are must to deal with data. If you know R language or any other coding language it is add on for you. Additionally you must know all the Lean tools to implement the solutions you have in mind. Work study, TQM, Lean Tools, Variability Analysis are the basic skill any Industrial Engineer should have.
That’s all from my side, feel free to contact for any doubts.
