About

Hello there! I always focus on what the customer needs and what do they value the most and then comes the design of the product. I consider prioritizing the consumers in the first place because they technically run all the businesses throughout the world. Empathizing the customers in the process of product development always produces a good final product - that's what I believe. I have my master's degree in Innovation Management and Product Development at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm. I am currently working as Cable Harness Design Engineer in charging systems and electrification (high voltage components) for BEV trucks at Scania CV AB now emerged as TRATON. I was previously working as a Design & Development Engineer in a startup developing e-bikes and other micro-mobility e-vehicles which gave me the opportunities to explore the User-Centered Approach in product development. It motivated me to pursue a master's in the related field. I aspire to learn and grow as much as possible and contribute my skills and knowledge to the electrification of transport industry. Excited to be on a path towards a sustainable future and will always be looking forward to opportunities to learn more. πŸ˜‡ Thanks for your time!

  • β—™ Thesis Title:
  • Design-Manufacturing Integration: Challenges in change management for new component in-house manufacturing
  • β—™ Scania is set to produce the VCB cables in-house instead of buying them from the suppliers which is the current method. The thesis focuses on the challenges in change management for new components in-house manufacturing by design-manufacturing integration as a solution. A case study is conducted for the products of electric trucks and buses to understand the design manufacturing integrations.
  • β—™ The thesis aims to identify gaps and find where the highest risk exists for deviations in today’s process in terms of design demands, product specification, and product preparation in the production of VCB cables.
  • β—™ A conceptual framework is presented by emphasizing the communication between the R&D groups and the production group by benchmarking the Design Manufacturing Integration (DMI) practices for collaborative product development.
