Job summary

Foxconn Industrial Internet - FII in Houston, TX seeks a driven Supply Chain PM Intern for a semester-long capstone engagement with the SCPM team. You will own an end-to-end project analyzing the commit process for the Air-Cooled product line, identify root causes of commit misses, and design a pre-commit gating framework with a simulation model to improve accuracy and reliability.

You will work with planning to build a CTB simulation, validate against historical data, and pilot live data before

Qualifications

Currently enrolled in or recently graduated from an accredited college or university.
Pursuing or recently completed a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Supply Chain Management, Industrial Engineering, Operations Management, Business Administration, or a related field.
Completion of relevant coursework in production planning, operations research, or quantitative methods is a strong plus.

Responsibilities

Document and map the current end-to-end commit process for the AC product line, covering MPS loading, MRP output review, constraint gating, and customer-facing commit steps.
Establish baseline commit accuracy metrics by analyzing historical commit vs. actual shipment data to quantify the current gap and identify patterns.
Conduct a root cause analysis of commit misses, categorizing failures by constraint type capacity (machine, labor, line), component availability, or planning gaps, and building a Pareto of the top drivers.
Design a structured pre-commit gating analysis framework and checklist that evaluates both capacity and component constraints before any customer-facing commitment is made.
Build a commit simulation model (Excel-based or equivalent tool of choice) capable of running clear-to-build (CTB) scenario testing against AC product line commits.
Validate the simulation model against historical data and run at least two scenario types to confirm accuracy and reliability.
Pilot the gating framework and simulation model against live AC product line data and measure before-and-after commit accuracy to demonstrate improvement.
Deliver a final recommendations report and implementation roadmap outlining projected improvements in accuracy, planning effectiveness, and operational responsiveness.
Present findings, the simulation model, and recommendations to Supply Chain leadership at the end of the program, including a knowledge transfer and handoff to the SCPM team.
