Internship at Compaq: Part One As a product approaches the End of Life phase, component parts may become labeled obsolete or excess. Such a label may not always be accurate as data is not readily available to provide better information to make that decision. As a result, material may be inadvertently scrapped when there are potential alternate uses. The intern will work with EOL teams to develop tools that will provide the teams with better information for improved decisions that reduce obsolescence costs without adversely affecting customer satisfaction. These tools will also allow the EOL teams to extend the horizon, thereby enabling earlier detection of problems.

Part Two The issue of alternate uses also plagues the manufacturing sites. As part of the daily operations, the ability to quickly reference alternate uses of material is paramount. The current review process is mostly a manual one, whereby an analyst works a file of SKU’s (stock keeping units or part numbers) to identify alternate uses. The analyst will check multiple systems on-line, and draw conclusions as appropriate. This is an inefficient process, and there is a potential for errors. Currently there is a Green Belt team in place to enhance the work process related to obsolescence. One of the expected outputs of that team is a tool-driven work process that is less prone to errors and allows for management inspection and reporting. The intern would be responsible for finalizing customer requirements, developing and implementing the tool.

Desired Skills Computer Skills: Visual Basic & application development; Working knowledge of SQL Server and MS Access, specifically database design, creating queries, macros and forms/user interfaces, and developing automated data feeds from various data sources. Manufacturing knowledge: Understanding of MRP concepts including bill of materials, scheduling, material cost; and inventory principles. Business skills: Ability to translate business processes into database tools, communicate with and train analysts, and manage multiple priorities. Must have solid presentation, writing skills and interpersonal skills to complete the project in a timely fashion. Education: 1st year graduate student in business, CS, industrial engineering or other related discipline. Contact the SOM Career Center if interested. (3/18/02)

Local Intern Possibility with Cooper Industries. There may be an opportunity for a Supply Chain major for a paid internship for the remainder of the semester. Pay to be $9 or $10 per hour at 10 hours per week. There are a couple of projects. One project involves small parcel shipments. As a company, Cooper Industries uses UPS, FedEx, Airborne, DHL to ship small parcels domestically. Each has their own pricing, their own tier discounts/thresholds which makes it very difficult to determine who actually is the least expensive carrier. In other words, everyone thinks Airborne is less expensive than FedEx or UPS but are they really if we throw their volume into UPS or FedEx. So this project would be to construct a model that would permit us to compare apples to apples the cost of one company with another and the impact of volume increases on the pricing. It would involve compiling shipment information from these various companies, understanding the pricing structures of each and creating a model that equalizes the price between them. The second project involves creating a shipment profile as to what a typical day looks like (for example, what percent of the shipments are going air, ground, LTL, TL, regional and what it costs). Within the past year we have been capturing shipment information from various Cooper divisions. But because each division has their own FAK (freight all kinds) rates and their own discounts we really do not know who is receiving the best price for their transportation. Our preference is to work in the small parcel problem first followed by the second problem. We would be interested in working with a senior or a graduate student. Although this is a Cooper project the student would be working with Gary LaPoint. You may contact Gary directly if have interest in the position. His email address is Gary.LaPoint@crouse-hinds.com.
