Virtual Internship Opportunity: Defining Systems

Our organization is able to offer a virtual internship opportunity for 1 or 2 students Our company has grown quickly and a lot of the processed that our implementers are using arenโ€™t documented and have never been evaluated. We want to record how our best people are getting stuff done and make sure that there isnโ€™t an even better way to get the job done. We would like students to help us define our systems so that we can efficiently focus your efforts and effectively scale. We expect students will need to do the following: Research best practices Interview high-performing personnel Define and document systems in our organization. Make recommendations to improve on current practices. The primary focus for the student will be: defining, implementing and preparing documents for best practices for assembly of products Our goal at the end of this experience is: standardize, document and benchmark at least a few of the assmbly processes Other duties the student may complete could include : advising on other areas of development if they come across them We will plan to communicate with our virtual intern using these communication tools: TEAMS video/phone chat, email. We will have to set up a monitor on the assembly line so the student can visualize the assembly and document it, and request pictures/video as necessary. Student's primary contact : (Teresa McKernan, Marketing Director, main liaison) Secondary contact: (Jeff Johannes, Inventory Manager) Third contact: Ann Johannes, Production Manager
