HBO/WO Stage: Design to Value Assessment of Strategic Packing

We are looking for an intern for Design-to-Value Assessment of Strategic Packaging.!

The Procurement department is responsible for the strategic development and management of supplier relationships. Additionally, the department ensures the optimal availability of ingredients and packaging materials for Abbott's production sites.

Discover where cost savings and innovation meet.

Are you curious about how large international companies optimize their packaging costs without compromising on quality, sustainability, or performance? Do you want to learn how Procurement, Engineering, Operations, and Logistics create value together? Then this graduation assignment at Abbott is perfect for you.

Many companies look primarily at the purchase price of packaging. However, the greatest opportunities often lie further along the value chain. Think of material choices, production efficiency, logistical optimization, and sustainability.

During this assignment, you will develop an end-to-end Design-to-Value model for a strategic packaging component and discover where the greatest opportunities for improvement lie.

• Building a complete value chain analysis.
• Developing a cost transparency model.
• Analyzing materials, design, production, and logistics.
• Benchmarking cost structures and market developments.
• Quantifying savings opportunities.

• Interest in continuous improvement and process optimization.
• Strong analytical skills.
• Good communication skills.
• Fluent English due to daily collaboration with international stakeholders.

• You will receive an internship at a globally operating healthcare company. An internship is a wonderful opportunity to get acquainted with it; perhaps one of Abbott's companies will even become your future employer.
• You will be assigned a technical supervisor with whom you will spar about the substantive progress of your assignment, and you will receive a mentor from the Project Management department. The supervisor/mentor will discuss progress with you and, if necessary, liaise with your educational institution.
• To do your work well, you will be given access to the systems with an Abbott laptop.
• And finally, you will receive an internship allowance of € 500,- (gross per month for full-time).
