Taking on new engagementsBengaluru · Chennai · Coimbatore

Safety decisions should be evidenced, not estimated.

I'm MuthuRema N — a chemical engineer and EHS practitioner who moved into analytics. I help industrial plants turn safety, environment and operations data into decisions: dashboards that get used, risk assessments that hold up under audit, and processes digitised on the Microsoft stack you already own.

What I take on

Six engagements, each with a measurable end state.

Scoped as short diagnostics, project-based builds, or a retained monthly cadence — whichever fits how your plant actually runs.

01

EHS Data & Analytics

Turn scattered incident, audit and observation data into leading indicators leadership actually acts on.

  • Leading / lagging indicator frameworks
  • Power BI dashboards & automated refresh
  • Predictive risk scoring by site and activity
02

Process Digitalisation on Microsoft 365

Replace paper registers and email chains with tools your teams already have a licence for.

  • Power Apps for permits, LOTO, inspections
  • Power Automate approval & escalation flows
  • SharePoint, Forms, OneNote, mail merge
03

Process & Machine Safety Assessment

Chemical, process and machinery risk assessed with quantitative rigour, not checklists.

  • Machine safety & guarding reviews
  • Chemical / process hazard assessment
  • Scenario modelling and risk matrices
04

Operational Excellence & DMAIC

Black Belt led improvement projects that close on measured, sustained savings.

  • DMAIC project charter to control plan
  • Utility, yield and downtime reduction
  • Green Belt coaching for internal teams
05

ESG & Sustainability Reporting

Emission and resource data assembled to a defensible, audit-ready standard.

  • Scope 1/2/3 data collection design
  • Spend-based & activity-based methods
  • Water, waste and energy intensity tracking
06

Standardisation & Governance

One way of working across plants, so audits stop being fire drills.

  • Multi-site SOP and template harmonisation
  • CAPA discipline and closure tracking
  • Audit readiness & compliance cadence

How an engagement runs

No twelve-month transformation programmes.

Three stages, each with something you can hold at the end of it. You can stop after any one of them.

  1. 01

    Diagnose

    1–2 weeks

    I sit with your existing registers, incident data and reporting cycle to find where information dies. You get a written baseline: what is measured, what is missing, what is costing you.

  2. 02

    Build

    4–10 weeks

    Dashboards, risk models, Power Apps or DMAIC projects built against that baseline — always on tools you already license, so nothing new needs procurement approval.

  3. 03

    Embed

    Ongoing or handover

    Your team is trained to own it. Control plans, SOPs and documentation are handed over so the improvement survives after I leave — with an optional retained review cadence.

Evidence

Work that closed with a number against it.

Outcomes delivered in-role at Vestas, GE Renewable Energy, LM Wind Power, DIAGEO and ACC.

30%

Water efficiency gain

Led a DMAIC project at a DIAGEO manufacturing unit that cut specific water consumption by 30% and held the gain through a control plan.

Paperless

Business unit transformation

Moved an entire business unit off paper using SharePoint, Power Automate and Forms, removing manual consolidation from the EHS reporting cycle.

Multi-site

Predictive safety modelling

Built risk assessment and scenario models for new projects and upgrades across renewable energy blade and turbine manufacturing.

11+ yrs

Heavy industry exposure

Cement, chemicals, fertiliser, automotive, beverage and wind energy — regulated environments where EHS decisions carry real consequence.

Track record

Eleven years on the plant floor before the dashboard.

Cement, chemicals, fertiliser, automotive, beverage and wind energy — the analytics came after the operating experience, not instead of it.

Where I work

Based in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. Comfortable anywhere with a plant gate.

Engagements run on-site or remote. I have worked across Indian manufacturing — Coimbatore, Chennai, Bengaluru, Gorakhpur, Madukkarai — and inside global organisations whose standards, audits and reporting lines sit in Denmark, the US and the UK.

Separate interest

A disclosure, not a pitch.

Buyers deserve to know where a consultant's other interests sit before they take advice. So it is stated plainly here rather than discovered later.

Business interest

Thaarei Ventures LLP

Alongside my consulting practice I am a partner at Thaarei Ventures LLP, which supplies access control and industrial safety hardware, including turnstiles. It operates as its own business with its own commercial terms.

Independence commitment. My consulting advice is never conditional on buying from Thaarei. Recommendations are vendor-neutral, and where a Thaarei product would be a candidate, I disclose the interest and expect you to evaluate alternatives on merit. Advisory and supply stay in separate engagements.

Get in touch

Tell me what the plant is struggling with.

A short call is usually enough to tell whether this is a two-week diagnostic or a three-month build. No deck required — send the problem in a paragraph.
