Sanjay is responsible for managing the allied Semiconductor supplier quality for Delphi Singapore plant. In this role, he has developed the system and process approach to ensure quality and delivery of semiconductors parts to Delphi plant by regularly performing gap analysis and providing solutions to close the gap through PDCA cycle. He has coached various suppliers to improve quality performance by improving problem solving capability.

He is a consultant to other Delphi Plants in North America, Mexico, Europe and China and has brought about a cultural change in terms of problem solving. Sanjay has helped various Delphi plants to be able to see problems differently, approach them differently. His acceptance from the team is very very high. He leads people by example, mentoring and coaching.

Technology Management Competency: In the past, he has been a technical consultant to International Copper Association, New York and was able to generate a project worth 1.2 million USD on Copper Motor Rotor for Industrial applications. He was able to identify and conceptualize an innovative and more productive way to produce Copper Motor Rotors, a green technology of the century that would bring about a paradigm shift in automotive power generation. His ability to identify and successfully bridge the needs of two organizations brought about capability development in terms of copper motor rotor technology development.

Dr. Sanjay Kumar Thakur’s Specialties:

He is a well known problem solver and consultant at Delphi Singapore and has brought about a paradigm shift in problem solving with innovative, lean, cost-effective, in-side-out approach. He possesses Six-Sigma Green Belt.

 Dr. N.Rudraiah was born on 18 August 1932 at Bellave, Tumkur Dist. Karnataka, India. His early graduation and post-gradation were at Mysore University. Later he was at the University Toronto and University of Western Ontario, Canada for his M.A. in 1960 and doctoral thesis in the Applied Mathematics department in Canada, which he successfully completed in 1964. On his return to India, he joined the Bangalore University in the Mathematics department and later as the

Principal of Central College. H; held important positions in various universities of national importance in Karnataka.

                              Prof. Rudraiah worked in various fields that include subjects like, Heat and mass Transfer, Flow through and Past Porous Media, Biomechanics connected with Fluid Mechanics, dynamics and techniques in Applied Mathematics. His main concern was to develop mathematical models in physics and mathematics, but was aware of the fact that certain physical problems would be solved in a finite mathematical proof. This was his basic approach of looking at things in the mathematical world.  He has extensively investigated the importance of various industrial applications in the storage of nuclear waste. He has been a visiting professor in various universities in India and aboard. In recognition of his work he was elected Fellow of the Indian National Science Academy (FNA), Fellow of Indian Academy of Sciences (FASc), United Writers' Association Fellowship (FUWA), Fellow of Institute of Mathematics and Applications ( F W ) , London. He was the recipient of several awards like the FICCI - Gold Medal, V. V. Narlikar Lecture Award, distinguished service award for contribution to promoting application of mathematics by Indian Society of Information Theory. His foreign awards include, the KIT award of Japan, William Mong Award from University of Hong Kong, and Karnataka Rajyotsava Award for his contributions to higher education and so on. He was elected twice as President of the Indian Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, and President of the Mathematics section of Indian Science Congress. In recognition of his work the University Grants Commission sanctioned to him DSA with thrust area fluid mechanics during 1980-2002 and Center of Advanced Studies in Fluid Mechanics in 2002, both under Special Assistance Programme (SAP). Rudralh was the Vice-Chancellor of Gulbarga University during 1990- 1996. Presently, Prof. Rudraiah is the Director of National Research Institute for Applied Mathematics, Bangalore and (Hon) Professor, UGC-DSA Centre in Fluid Mechanics, Department of Mathematics, Bangalore University, Bangalore.
