Directed capital and manufacturing transformation programs using DMAIC and Lean Six Sigma, integrating engineering, IT, and operations under a formal Program Governance Model. Managed interface control between external vendors and internal technical teams, leading System Integration Testing to resolve deficiencies before commissioning — all within a live operating environment.
Led a nitrogen generation system from initiation to close — vendor coordination, safety analysis, installation, and operator training — to supply a reliable inert atmosphere for sensitive manufacturing processes.
Managed design through implementation of a centralized BEMS integrating HVAC, lighting, and other building systems, with CSA electrical safety compliance built into the design phase from the start.
Directed design and installation of new kettle equipment into live production, including pressure relief systems and safety interlocks to prevent over-pressurization.
Managed a facility expansion for storing and handling volatile materials from concept through completion, working directly with regulatory bodies and following the National Fire Code and CSA standards throughout.
Coordinated a full HVAC system replacement in a live facility, cascading NFPA code requirements to the project team through training sessions, summaries, and compliance checklists.
Led planning and implementation of an automated storage and retrieval system, integrating it with existing warehouse management systems and independently verifying the safety-system design against CSA Z432 and ISO 13849 before commissioning.
Managed a high-efficiency production line installation from concept to completion, coordinating equipment suppliers and contractors to minimize downtime during commissioning.
Led installation of a new automated packaging line, developing machine guarding protocols, ergonomic assessments, and emergency-stop testing checklists to CSA standards, then integrated them into daily operations.
Retrofitted an existing industrial spiral fridge with energy-efficient components without disrupting ongoing operations, improving product quality consistency alongside the energy savings.
Led design, fabrication, and installation of pressure vessels handling hazardous materials, coordinating directly with regulatory bodies to meet all safety and quality standards.
Managed design through installation of custom piping spools, coordinating closely with the engineering team and other on-site contractors to meet strict quality specifications.
Business case through FAT/SAT and stakeholder sign-off across all five PMBOK process groups.
Monitored manufacturing operations for process drift using SPC methods, then analyzed root cause and implemented Engineering Change Orders to correct it before output quality was affected — catching the issue upstream instead of at final inspection.
Ran structured lessons-learned workshops after major program delivery, identifying where budget and schedule assumptions had been off. Used the findings to standardize risk-reduction clauses in future contracts, turning a one-time recovery into a repeatable process improvement.
Leading concurrent capital programs for manufacturing and public-sector clients, coordinating cross-functional teams of 8–12.
Led $20M CAPEX/OPEX programs; 30% on-time improvement, $1.2M recoverable efficiency identified.
Managed $10M facility upgrades including line commissioning, equipment installation, and construction inspection.
Led parallel delivery of multiple projects within a $20M–$50M modernization program.
Baseline Programs Partners is the program management consulting practice of Vipinchandra Vankar, operated under Mavion Inc. As a licensed Professional Engineer (P.Eng) and PMP-certified consultant with 10+ years leading capital programs from $10M facility upgrades to $50M modernization efforts, I don't just track a schedule — I understand the technical, regulatory, and financial pressure underneath it. When specialized expertise is needed beyond my own scope, I bring in vetted third-party specialists — every vendor is strictly scrutinized before any contract is awarded.
A short call is the fastest way to find out how I can help.
