Production Planning & Visibility Optimization Internship
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.

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.
