Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

Implementing Lean tools and processes within the entire business to eliminate waste and continuously identify ideas for improvement.
Everyday is different and immersive - working cross-functionally within manufacturing and transactional environments to help support in any way that I can.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

I was made to feel as part of the team from the 1st day - and not just a placement student. I was handed as much responsibility as I could handle / cope, and my managers and team mates supported me constantly.
