Your challenge
Are you the enthusiastic, talented intern we’re looking for?
The installation of MR scanners is considered to be the last manufacturing step before the system is ready for clinical scans. To be able to measure the business performance within the installation domain a number of key performance indicators are used (KPI’s). The KPI’s are used to control the business performance in terms of quality, lead time and cost as well as to measure improvements and changes made in the installation process.
There is a basic KPI measurement system in place which is optimized on a monthly basis: every month a new iteration of the measurement system is released containing new, extended or optimized measurements. Extension to other or new product families within the MR portfolio is also of great importance in the build of a new iteration.
For MR installations worldwide the performance measurement is a key element in enabling the organization to make the right business decisions as well as defining the right strategy and improvement areas.
Your responsibilities
· Collect current KPI measurements on a monthly basis (work instructions available)
· Develop and implement new iterations of the performance measurement system (KPI dashboard)
· Ensure the work instructions are updated as new iterations of the dashboard are released
· Execute analysis on collected data and create a monthly review report
· Extend the performance measurement to other MR product families
