Manufacturing Planner Internship
Manufacturing Planner at Avo Photonics – Horsham, PA
Summer 2023 – Present;
Summer 2022
In my role as a Manufacturing Planner, I oversaw the entire production process, ensuring its smooth progression from start to finish. This involves closely monitoring each stage, projecting job outcomes, and planning accordingly. Serving as a liaison between production and other business functions, I communicated crucial information to ensure seamless operations. Daily tasks include releasing travelers to meet production commitments at the onset, and closing production jobs for shipping upon completion. Additionally, I was responsible for creating and maintaining Bills of Materials (BoMs) and routers in SAP B1.
My role has taught me skills in production processes, communication, and applying technical skills in a manufacturing environment. This experience was extremely valuable. I believe it emphasized the value of a MIS degree, being able to blend soft skills, like business communications and thinking styles, with hard skills like ERP systems and SQL.
