Industrial Engineering Internship: Supply Chain Cost & Workforce Planning

Introduction

As a Supply Chain Cost & Workforce Planning Intern, you will join the Customer Supply Chain Management (CSCM) Central Cost team. You will help structure how headcount supports customer operations and will analyze differences across regions and translate insights into a clear model. This internship contributes to better planning, benchmarking, and cost efficiency across global sites.

Your Assignment

In this assignment, you will collaborate closely with central CSCM teams and regional stakeholders to thoroughly analyze the regional headcount structure. The main objective is to assess the current structure and identify activities at each site, with the aim of enhancing transparency.

Your main responsibilities will be:

• Map headcount structures and activities per region or country.

• Identify key drivers, processes, and stakeholders linked to workforce planning.

• Analyze inefficiencies and key differences in headcount structures across regions and countries.

• Propose improvements to increase cost transparency and consistency.

• Propose a blueprint for the regional headcount structure based on operational drivers and activities performed.

• Develop a calculating model to estimate required headcount according to the proposed blueprint.
