(Jan 2003 – Dec 2003) IT Support for Global Planning at Infineon Technologies AG
On January 2003 i took a new challenge. I travelled to Munich, Germany and started an internship supporting the Global Planning department on IT related issues. Part of my role was supporting existing legacy tools on VB, Excel and Access that were used for both Production Planning and Capacity Planning.
However my main role was to develop a central capacity planning tool that would allow the central departments to create scenarios on product allocation and investment over the several semi-competing sites in order to find the optimum setup for the Supply Chain model.
The basic struture of the application was a mathematical model of the supply chain , including the diferent locations and broken down to the baswic production steps. The development of this tool gave me great insight both on production modeling and simulation skills as well a great knowledge on short and long term planning methods.
The application was completed with success and it served as a prototype for a new global capacity optimization tool.
