During the summer at Modineer Group my main role was to help improve the production and shipping efficiency for the plant I was working at. I would send out weekly scrap reports and capacity reports using excel and python to export data and clean it up making it easier for management to see. Also during my time here I worked with another intern on organizing and impoving the overall flow of the plant floor. Doing this by organizing and improving the labels on stamp dies, moving inventory spaces around to better fit their operation center and getting rid of excess material that was taking up space in the plant. A large project that I tackled throughout the summer was the plant floor was being remodeled so another intern and I had to organize the crates and inventory accordingly in order to make the construction be able to happen. Demand had a drastic increase at the end of the summer so I did countless reports figuring out how much the plant can handle on a Workcenter capacity level in order to plan on how we were going to be able to handle the large demand increase.

Along with helping to sell Cutco products to customers, every week I recruit high school and college students to join Vector Marketing. Also lead by example and help the new recruits reach their weekly goals.

In my sales representative job I explain products, answer questions, and help our customers place orders. Walking customers through a demonstration of all of the products we sell and showing them the benefits and qualities, that Cutco knives have.

My roll at Marson as production and supply chain intern is to stay on top and keep track of the materials coming into the warehouses and being shipped out of the warehouses. I mainly use pivot tables in Microsoft excel to visualize the demand patterns of customers, incorporating lead time of materials to determine when and where to order raw materials from. Also setting reorder points and preferred stock points for materials in order to maximize profit, but also minimize risk of running out of materials.

During my time at Marson International I was a part of an assembly line for preparing and manufacturing exhaust pipes for automotive vehicles. I helped label these aluminum parts. I also bent, inducted and packaged these parts so they were ready to be shipped out to the respected customer. This job really taught me hard work and dedication, getting up early 5 days a week and working 40 hours during the week.
