Internship project at Intralox

Objective:
To enhance the efficiency of material flow and improve visual management systems within a logistics environment, ensuring optimal setup and organization of locations.

Project Overview:
You will work closely with the logistics team to analyze current material flow processes and visual management practices. The goal is to implement solutions and give input/new ideas to streamline operations.

Key Components:

1. Visual Management Implementation:
   • Implement new visual management strategies to enhance clarity and communication.
   • Create visual aids (e.g., flowcharts, diagrams) to represent material flow and location setups.
   • Implement a color-coded system for easy identification of materials and locations.
2. System Setup implementation:
3. Recommend adjustments to the physical setup

2. Collaborate with the team to implement changes and monitor their effectiveness.
3. Update the ERP (Oracle) so the system supports the physical flow.
4. Material Flow Improvement:
5. Introduce tracking methods (e.g., barcodes) to monitor material movement in real-time.

3. Develop a feedback loop for continuous improvement based on team input
4. Documentation and Reporting:
   • Maintain detailed documentation of processes, changes made, and outcomes observed.
   • Prepare a final report summarizing findings, implemented strategies, and recommendations for future improvements.

Expected Outcomes:

• Improved efficiency in material flow
• Enhanced visibility and understanding of processes through effective visual management.
• A comprehensive report that serves as a reference for future interns and team members.

Skills Developed:

• Practical experience in logistics and supply chain management.
• Proficiency in visual management techniques and system optimization.
• Hands-on change management experience.

This project not only provides hands-on experience but also contributes to the overall efficiency of the logistics operations.
