My name is Irasema and I am extremely happy to have been given the opportunity to live and intern in Mexico City. My major is Supply Chain Management and I worked for a company that is called BSN medical. BSN is a global medical company that operates all over the world in charge of supplying orthopedic products of bandaging, wound care, and compression stockings. So, due to the fact that BSN is a global company, there are innumerable centers of distribution and production facilities all across the world. They mainly operate in Germany, France, Mexico, Pakistan, South Africa, Colombia, Venezuela, New Zealand, and the U.S. My internship experience at BSN medical was definitely of great worth to me.
For instance, the most valuable thing that BSN has is their vision and the flexibility with which it treats its team in order to provide a safe work surrounding. One of the things that I enjoyed the most as an intern, was to be part of a significant project which main aim was to measure productivity and to re accommodate the company?s inventory.
Moreover, with this project the company wanted to attain more value added by improving the process of efficiency with lean techniques. Also, by executing these activities, a systematic approach to eliminate waste would be identified and the company?s flow would be maximized. The main purpose of the internship was to gain experience into the real supply chain world by dealing with the management of the flow of goods and services. Then, by being closely involved in the administration of the company I was able to fully understand the work-in-process inventory and how the finished good products moved from point of creation to point of depletion.
Particularly, the opportunity of being an intern was a rewarding and beneficial experience that supported me to obtain knowledge in the professional environment. In this case, by being involved in different tasks and surrounded with professionals at all means helped me experienced the daily work done at the company in a more palpable way.
And that?s pretty much a summary of what I?ve done at work. I?ll keep you updated!
