As a production intern at Nexans, I was a team member of the stranding department,which contains armoring, taping, and twisting processes. With constantmeasurement, I analyzed variances to keep costs under control and participated inprojects that optimized cost and efficiency. In addition, I have participated in dailySQDCE meetings to control the impact of safety, quality, delivery, cost, andenvironmental actions on production. An example of my projects is identifying theroot causes of existing problems using problem-solving techniques such as fishbonediagrams and root cause analysis and taking action to resolve these issues with awell-organized collaboration of the extrusion department that is linked with thestranding department. Besides all the pros of Nexans, Nexans guided us throughcorporate culture and an intimate team so I learned significant information about thecable industry, especially for the stranding department.

Within the scope of the lean production techniques and applications class, I prepareda project with my teammates, one day a week at CMK Cable, where we applied thelean production techniques we learned in class.

I worked across multiple departments within the Arc Ambalaj factory duringsummer holiday to learn about the operations of packaging industry.I observed and contributed to the processes involved in the production ofcardboard edge protectors and paper cores. I had the opportunity to understandhow the machines worked and to take part in various stages of the productionprocess. Furthermore, I have proposed an operational research that is suitablefor the existing cutting problem.In addition to production operations, I took an active role in quality controlprocesses, participating in quality testing of products, observing and analysingthe quality of products and making recommendations to improve the quality ofthe production process. I also contributed to continuous improvement efforts bypreparing quality control reports and working on quality improvement strategies.
