Project Details:
The management & oversight of 5B's Supply Chain requires a significant amount of data & reporting. However, the reports only scratch the surface in informing us what happened. We are beginning our journey to dive deeper into the data to better understand not only what happened... but why it happened, as well as predictive indicators to know in advance when we may need to focus on something.
To remain agile in our ever-changing Supply Chain environment, the project will focus on one of the two below subjects, depending on need come June. Both focus heavily on analytics:
1) Build analysis that leverages future purchase order & planned allocation data to better predict upcoming UPC in our ship centers, which will directly tie to our labor planning.
2) Build analysis that mechanizes the review of purchase orders & automates the recommended changes to those POs for our teams to action. A potential extension of this project could include partnering with IT to develop RPA (robotic process automation) that leverages the analysis output to automatically update the purchase orders!
Requirements:

• Must be actively enrolled as an incoming Junior - Senior in a relevant Bachelor's program (See Desired Skills).
• Minimum 3.0 GPA
• Must be comfortable with Microsoft Office products & remote meeting software
• Must have availability for the full 10-week program as space is limited
• Must be a self-starter, highly passionate & detail oriented
