Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I manage/track new parts that come when new documents are released, ensuring set ups are on track to being complete; take minutes during meetings for these parts/have my own meeting to discuss parts; process new customer orders that come in; send out daily emails (effective date for documents set and compiled customer orders); monthly/quarterly scorecards; activate new items.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Responsibilties include: owning my own pending change tracker where I am responsible for all new parts added, staying on top of this is important as setups need completing in line with demand; processing all customer orders within a certain time period; completing quarterly measures
