Shape the Supply Chains That Keep Manufacturing Moving

• Solve meaningful problems. Use data and operational insight to improve inbound logistics for automotive manufacturing environments.
• Grow your expertise. Build experience in route utilization, material flow, network optimization, reporting, and customer collaboration.
• Collaborate with purpose. Work with plant materials analysts, logistics and procurement teams, carriers, suppliers, and internal planning professionals.
• Build your career. Gain exposure to high-visibility supply chain projects and broader opportunities within logistics and optimization.
