LIVE
This could be your everyday
Join our Clinical Packaging and Supply Chain / Manufacturing teams in a hands‑on assignment focused on improving how production planning information is visualized, managed, and used on the shopfloor.
Today, our planning & production teams rely on an internal tool to track production orders, room allocation, routing logic, and operational exceptions. The tool works — but it can be smarter, clearer, and more insightful.
And that’s where you come in.
Your mission
You will help enhance an existing production planning and visibility dashboard by:
Mapping current production & planning processes
Identifying inefficiencies, gaps, and missing logic
Supporting the integration of room allocation , order routing , and exception handling
Analyzing production data to define improvement opportunities
Translating operational insights into practical, data‑driven enhancements
Working with Production, Planning, Supply Chain, and Engineering stakeholders
This is a chance to blend data, operations, and problem‑solving — and make a visible impact in a real, regulated manufacturing environment.

During your internship, you will:
✅ Map the current-state planning process
✅ Analyze production & planning datasets
✅ Identify gaps in logic, visibility, and usability
✅ Propose and document improvement recommendations
✅ Support enhancements to the planning dashboard
