Job Description

Help us shape the future of production planning – and build the skills that will shape yours.

At Amgen, our mission is simple and powerful: to serve patients. Every improvement in how we plan, schedule, and operate our manufacturing processes helps us deliver medicines more efficiently, safely, and reliably across the world.

At Amgen Breda, over 900 colleagues from more than 40 nationalities work every day to assemble, package, store, and distribute life‑changing medicines. Now, you have the chance to contribute to this purpose — and gain real experience in a global biotech environment.

LIVE

This could be your everyday

Join our Clinical Packaging and Supply Chain / Manufacturing teams in a hands‑on assignment focused on improving how production planning information is visualized, managed, and used on the shopfloor.

Today, our planning & production teams rely on an internal tool to track production orders, room allocation, routing logic, and operational exceptions. The tool works — but it can be smarter, clearer, and more insightful.

And that’s where you come in.

Your mission

You will help enhance an existing production planning and visibility dashboard by:

• Mapping current production & planning processes
• Identifying inefficiencies, gaps, and missing logic
• Supporting the integration of room allocation,order routing, and exception handling
• Analyzing production data to define improvement opportunities
• Translating operational insights into practical, data‑driven enhancements
• Working with Production, Planning, Supply Chain, and Engineering stakeholders

This is a chance to blend data, operations, and problem‑solving — and make a visible impact in a real, regulated manufacturing environment.

Deliverables

During your internship, you will:

✅ Map the current-state planning process
✅ Analyze production & planning datasets
✅ Identify gaps in logic, visibility, and usability
✅ Propose and document improvement recommendations
✅ Support enhancements to the planning dashboard
✅ Present a final report & recommendations to stakeholders

Your work will directly contribute to a fully functioning and integrated production planning dashboard used by operational teams across the site.
