General (Summer) Helper
During my time at a General Helper at Weber Display & Packaging, a leading manufacturer of corrugated shipping containers and points of service displays (those that you see at Costco, Acme, or your everyday supermarket) with over 240 full-time employees, I was responsible for several tasks that supported the company’s production and shipping operations. Weber Display & Packaging is located at 3500 Richmond St, Philadelphia, PA 19134.
My primary responsibilities included utilizing Kiwi Planner, a industry-leading packing ERP and MES solution, to track and document data related to damaged, incomplete, missing, and completed corrugated shipping containers. In addition to data management, I printed essential documentations and calculated final shipping amounts, ensuring accuracy and a timely delivery of all orders.
I have managed to tracked over hundreds of orders of shipping containers, minimizing errors and increasing accuracy of inventory records.
This role has significantly improved my understanding of how software systems integrates with hardware to optimize manufacturing processes. I gained hands-on experience with inventory management, data analysis, and machinery operations, which can be applicable in MIS. The usage of ERP systems in a real-world situation has provided me with experience in production management, which I can relate to my Digital Systems (2101) course, where we used Salesforce for data entry, emailing, and setting up software; Additionally, data management which I can relate to my Data and Analytics (2502) course, where we were tasked with using MySql and Python for data analytics.
