Supply Chain Typical Responsibilities

Students support the corporate supply chain in many ways – inventory management, Q/A, investigating freight claims – you name it. Look through some of the activities below to get ideas on how Cristo Rey students can help you be more efficient.
Inventory Management

General materials order: coordinate logistics for release of materials, generate new manufacturing orders from client system, schedule materials for distribution, issue materials and replacements, follow materials through production process and enter status in client tracking system.

Coordinate inventory management: identify owner of obsolete products, communicate to salesperson to move products and enter status in client system

Freight Forwarder Data Analysis: Review shipping orders, actual data and estimated data and create master data set. Analyze discrepancies and recommend adjustments in client freight estimation algorithms.

Freight Rate Management: Examine client freight contracts and current client freight rates and identify discrepancies to be corrected in client system.

Daily Activity File: Match shipment delivery information with orders and delivery status and update in system.

Quality Assurance
Quality Assurance: Evaluate products and document relevant data.

The students allow Barilla employees to work on their coaching and managerial skills, while also helping with tasks that improve Barilla’s day to day operations. Monse practiced her Excel skills by using the VLOOKUP function to pull in item specifications. These specs are in turn used to request that our customers order items in certain quantities. If our customers comply with the request, we can save money and avoid manual case picking at our warehouses.
