Internship Title
SPS Global planning intern

Job Description
Join us for Supply chain internship at Philips. Our Service Parts Supply Chain Planning Team is currently looking for a passionate person to join the team.

Your role is to study the research question:
How to plan very slow moving and intermittent demand parts which form the biggest portion of the Philips service parts portfolio especially for small locations? Due to unexpected demand quantities or first-time demand, it is not possible to reach provided fill-rate targets in the inventory optimization.

You're the right fit if:
* Analytical thinking and problem solving mindset.
* Knowledge of service parts planning processes (forecasting, optimization and supply planning)
* Strong English written and verbal communication skills required.
* You are currently studying towards your Master of Science (Msc.) within Supply Chain
Management or Operations Research.

How we work together
We believe that we are better together than apart. For our office-based teams, this means working in-person at least 3 days per week. Onsite roles require full-time presence in the company's facilities. Field roles are most effectively done outside of the company's main facilities, generally at the customers' or suppliers' locations.

We offer you:
A non-stop growth opportunity within a global multinational company. In addition, we also want to renumerate you well for the opportunity. This includes:
* Monthly full-time allowance between EUR500 - EUR700 gross, depending on your education level and if you need to relocate to The Netherlands. Part-time internships receive the allowance pro-rata.
* Housing compensation. Should you need to relocate to near our office, we'll offer you a monthly allowance of EUR300,- net if location is in the vicinity of Amsterdam, EUR255,- net for all other Philips locations. To be eligible, we'll just ask for the rental contract from your landlord, and your usual home-work travel distance needs to be more than 50 km or 1.5 hours of travel time (for a one way trip).
* Travel compensation, if you are not eligible for a free public transport card; you will receive max. EUR192,- net as a monthly allowance.
* Paid holidays per internship term.
* The opportunity to buy Philips products at our Philips shop.

* Learn more about our business.

* Learn more about our purpose.

If you're interested in this role and have many, but not all, of the experiences needed, we encourage you to apply. You may still be the right candidate for this or other opportunities at Philips. Learn more about our commitment to diversity and inclusion here.
