Beginning in May 2012 we will be asking a select group of
our logistics partners to respond to our requirement to price our out-sourced
service parts logistics operations (RFQ). In summary, at a high level, this will
include the costs for physical storage and control of spare parts globally,
along with the costs for handling/delivery to our customers and overall
management oversight. Therefore, the task for the intern on this project
is as follows: RFQ of spare parts logistics operations:
-
assist the Project Manager
in organizing and tracking the communications between HDS and the RFQ
respondents
-
participate in evaluating
and matching RFQ respondents answers to HDS business requirements and
specifications
-
help coordinate meetings
with and visits to the selected RFQ candidates
Additional project responsibilities will be assisting with
the on boarding of a new spares planning tool. Servigistics/MCA is the
tool that we plan to upgrade and integrate the BlueArc Spare Parts into the HDS
processes. (This project is not funded yet, but working the issues).
-
assist with planning tool
data extraction, setup, and validation (does not require IT skills)
-
coordinate and participate
in planning tool user testing
-
document spares planning
processes and develop user training materials
-
participate in defining
spares planning metrics
Candidates with flexible work hours are ideal as we will
occasionally need to start early to work with European contacts and other times
go a little late to work with Australia / Asia contacts. This job will
likely extend through Oct/Nov as the goal would be to bring this system live at
this time.
