Overview

• Department: Production – Cutting; project linked to GS50 project (installation of new machines) requiring layout rearrangement.
• Objective: Implementation of a Kanban system for coils and redesign of storage/layout to adapt to new machine installation and improve material flow.

Main tasks / Responsibilities

• Analyze current coil flow and storage practices to identify bottlenecks and storage constraints.
• Define Kanban requirements and calculate Kanban dimensions (card/kanban sizes, quantities, replenishment rules).
• Design the Kanban rack and updated floor layout using AutoCAD, taking into account ergonomics and space from GS50 machine installation.
• Propose and validate improvement scenarios (layout alternatives, rack configurations, stock levels) and support pilots.
• Support the implementation of the Kanban system on shop floor and participate in validation and adjustment after deployment.

Required skills & tools

• Lean and Kanban methodology knowledge for pull systems and inventory control.
• Proficiency in AutoCAD for layout and rack design drawings.
• Strong Excel skills for calculations, Kanban sizing, and data analysis.
• Industrial Engineering background (Bachelor’s or Master’s student) and familiarity with production/cutting environments.

Deliverables & expected outcomes

• Detailed analysis report of current coil flow and storage including identified issues and improvement opportunities.
• Technical design drawings of the Kanban rack and updated plant layout in AutoCAD.
• Defined Kanban parameters (card sizes, number of kanbans, replenishment rules) and Excel calculation sheets.
• Implementation plan and validation report with recommended scenario(s) and metrics to monitor post-implementation (e.g., stock levels, lead times).

Practical information

• Duration: 06 Months (internship length stated as 06 Months).
• Number of interns: 01 or 02 interns for this subject.
• Close collaboration with Production – Cutting team and project stakeholders of the GS50 installation.
