Assignment

Would you like to experience how day-to-day workforce planning works within an international machine-building company?

During this internship, you will participate in the operational planning process and help keep the schedule accurate, current, and reliable.

Objectives

Learn the complete daily and weekly operational planning cycle;

• Enter workforce and capacity requests into the planning tool;

• Record sick leave, vacation, other leave, and changes in availability;

• Review the schedule for open shifts, double bookings, and overstaffing;

• Collaborate with planners and team leaders and develop a practical improvement proposal.

You will work alongside the Planning team by reviewing and processing requests, recording changes, managing absences, and supporting weekly scheduling. You will also create a checklist and develop one specific improvement that reduces errors or manual work.
