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.

  • 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.

✅ Map the current-state planning process
✅ Analyze production & planning datasets
✅ Identify gaps in logic, visibility, and usability
