Global Internship Program - Midsole Stabilization Study Project

- To attract global talents, we have started to develop partnership with universities in United Sates, Vietnam, Singapore, and Taiwan couple years ago, and brought in a very diversified group of interns to work on real projects in our Vietnam and Indonesia offices with our various departments, such as strategic planning, modernization manufacturing, production creation center, HR, Facility Management, etc.
- It's an internship program full of learning opportunities, fun activities, and challenges. One of the biggest compliments we've received from an intern from University of Oregon says: "This is a life changing journey for me." We believe it would be a once-in-a-lifetime internship opprotunity to you, too.
* Midsole Stabilization Study​​ Project
- The bottom formula, after being developed and trial produced in CDC (Chemical Development Center), will be produced in the mass production of Bottom Factory. However, we have experienced product difference in two production sites. Some possible factors which might cause the difference are listed below.
+ Machinery capability
+ Operational Technology
+ Processing conditions
+ Temperature variation in Stabilization Oven
- Among the 4 factors, the current project will analyze the influence of the no. 4 factor through experiments on different machines in different production site, and find out the possible root causes which contributed to the product differences between CDC and Bottom Factory within NIKE STD.
* Objectives of the project
- Study on Stabilization Oven temperature and the influence on IP Expansion Rate and product:
- Become a Master of Temperature in Stabilization Oven by investigating and analyzing temperatures in areas of different machines in different sites under different combination of factors, and eventually find out the root causes and solutions to maintain consistent production setting and reduce product differences between CDC and Bottom Factory.
* The intern will be expected to
- Investigate factors influencing the temperature in Stabilization Oven in the development stage and mass production, and find out possible reasons causing the different production statistics and results in CDC and Bottom Factory through QA reports, analysis, and experiments.
* Intern specific benefits:
- Free meals, accommodation, and allowances
- Working and learning with real projects in shoe manufacturing setting
- Mentoring, coaching, & networking
- On-the-job training
- Challenges of cross culture communication and working environment
* Internship Period: June 24th - Sept 6th
