Department Overview

We are looking for a driven, analytical Supply Planning Intern to join our team for the summer. You will work directly with our Supply Planners and Finance partners to improve accounts payable (AP) workflows, strengthen supplier visibility, and build core operational dashboards.

This is a hands-on opportunity to solve real supply chain challenges and leave behind lasting process improvements.

Key Responsibilities

• AP Hold Prevention and Audit: Analyze historical Accounts Payable hold data to find root causes such as price discrepancies, unit-of-measure errors, or receiving delays. Design a proactive audit checklist that resolves invoice mismatches before they trigger system holds.

• Supplier Promise Date Tracking: Map current vendor communication channels (EDI, supplier portals, manual updates) to find gaps. Establish a standardized process that improves real-time promise date visibility across open purchase orders.

• Master and Open Order Data Health: Audit and clean up aging data in the ERP system, including legacy open purchase orders, outdated lead times, inactive part status, and unfulfilled line items. The goal is to reduce system noise and improve MRP accuracy.

• Process Documentation: Create clear standard operating procedures (SOPs) for new tracking methods and validation workflows so the team can take over smoothly.

Additional Qualified Skills

• Technical Skills: Proficiency in Excel (VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP, Pivot Tables, core functions) is required. Experience with ERP systems (SAP, Oracle, NetSuite) or BI reporting tools (Power BI, Tableau) is a strong plus.

• Analytical Mindset: Comfort working with large datasets, spotting patterns, and turning complex data into actionable operational insights.

• Communication: Strong written and verbal communication to work effectively with internal planners, finance teams, and external suppliers.
