Description:
The internship will focus on working with inventory planners to ensure optimal stocking plans are in place for the upcoming 2013 Merillat launch (scheduled for August 19). Doors, drawer fronts, and accessory parts are all evaluated for forecasted volume and then slated for make to order, finish to order, or stock to meet the Merillat 5-day delivery value proposition. Analysis on which way parts should be manufactured (MTO, FTO, stock) has a direct impact on our on-time conformance metric at the assembly plants and our ability to deliver on the brand value proposition. As an example, for the 2013 Merillat launch our SKU base for doors will increase from approximately 42,000 to 102,000 which will create a larger demand on our MTO and FTO business. Inventory storage locations are fixed for the purposes of this launch. The intern can expect to learn the function of an inventory planner, commonly an entry level supply chain position, with an opportunity to make a direct impact on a successful product launch.
