ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Dr. A Aruleswaran is LSS Academys principal consultant and a strategic advisor aiming to assist companies to develop strategies and execution planning through continuous improvement methodologies. Arul began his career as a technical assistant for Minsec Engineering Services in 1994 and continued to site management, leading a group of 50 contract employees in an engineering fabrication facility. Following this, Arul pursued a degree and Ph.D in Mechanical Engineering at Oxford Brookes, Oxford, UK.
Moving into a career of research and development, continuous improvement and Lean 6 Sigma, Arul joined Alcan in Banbury Laboratories, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom in 2001.
He started as research scientist for Aluminium rolling and continuous casting process and engineering measurement technologies later moving on to Novelis Inc Global Technology Centre in Kingston, Ontario, Canada in 2004 for Lean 6 Sigma based continuous improvements, strategic and multi-generational planning for the Aluminium Light Gauge Metal business group and Technology Innovation group.
Among Aruls finest Lean 6 Sigma achievements was a project to scope out a suite of projects to eliminate losses of process waste. The 6 sigma project is estimated to return US $3MM in value creation and reduce the dependence of tier 1 material supply. The project has both a positive economic and environmental impact. Arul led that project using a diverse group of engineers and operations personnel using the methodologies of Lean 6 Sigma. This work broke new ground by developing the required methods and tools to perform scoping projects and will serve to lead others to do the same.
