Production Control Review

Main daily contact for 10+ suppliers - regularly working with suppliers across UK and Europe to ensure smooth delivery of car parts in line with Just-In-Time processes.
Responsible for the inventory management of over 100 car parts.
Regularly involved in projects with other departments across the organisation.
Had opportunity to visit multiple supplier sites across the UK to ensure processes are in line with TMUK safety standards.

Felt like I was given lots of responsibility from the start of my placement and at times where I felt like I was not being challenged, I was able to communicate this and management responded well by offering me more opportunities/projects to get involved with.

Digital skills - learnt how to use Microsoft PowerApps & PowerPlatforms
Project management - learnt how to work together in a project team and coordinate activities to achieve project objectives within a set deadline
Communication - developed strong written and verbal communication skills through regularly presenting projects and liaising with suppliers.
Organisation - learnt how to manage my own time and schedule in alignment with other colleagues'

Had a weekly 1-2-1 with my manager. Was also assigned a mentor of a similar age from a different department which was good to have someone to talk to outside of the department. Had support network of other placement students and graduates

Positive working environment - large emphasis on working together and supporting each other. General atmosphere - everyone at factory very friendly and welcoming. Always felt included, could be more diverse.

Really enjoyed my placement - feel like it has been very beneficial both for me going back into final year at university and I also feel much more confident about entering the graduate labour market after university having been in full-time work for a year.
