Supply Chain Intern: a project built for this posting
Summer 2027 supply chain internships at Kimberly-Clark, with some placements running from summer into fall or part-time through the school year. Interns work on real supply chain projects and are treated as a pipeline for full-time hires.

What this role is really testing
The project
Warehouse Space Utilization Audit & Optimization Dashboard
A spreadsheet-based dashboard that models a fictional warehouse's current SKU storage layout, flags underutilized or overcrowded zones, and recommends a reallocation plan with projected efficiency gains. This maps directly to the posting's call-outs of space utilization analysis and warehouse operations systems analysis, showing the recruiter the candidate can frame a real supply chain problem and present a data-backed recommendation.
- Build the dataset: Create a spreadsheet with 15–20 fictional SKUs across 5 warehouse zones. Include columns for zone name, zone capacity (pallets), current pallets stored, SKU velocity tier (A/B/C based on turnover speed), and days-on-hand. Populate it with realistic variation, some zones over 90% full, some under 40%, fast-moving SKUs stored in inconvenient back zones, so the inefficiencies are visible and worth solving.
- Add analysis layers: Insert calculated columns for utilization rate (current/capacity), a velocity-zone mismatch flag (e.g., 'A-tier SKU in rear zone = YES/NO'), and estimated weekly picks wasted due to poor placement. Add a summary table at the top showing total capacity, total utilization %, number of mismatch SKUs, and estimated pick-walk time lost per week. Use conditional formatting to color-code utilization (red = over 85%, yellow = under 50%, green = 50–85%) so a recruiter can read the problem in five seconds.
- Build the recommendation tab: Add a second sheet titled 'Optimized Layout' that reassigns SKUs, moving all A-tier items to front zones, consolidating slow movers to free a full zone as overflow buffer. Add a side-by-side comparison table showing before vs. after metrics: average utilization balance, mismatch count, and estimated pick-walk time saved per week. Write three bullet-point 'Implementation Notes' below the table explaining the logic, as if presenting to a warehouse manager, this shows business communication skill alongside the analysis.

Questions
Do I need to know how to code?
No. For roles like this one, Provieo builds the project as a live case-study page: slides, tables and findings you fill in. You bring the thinking.
Where did this project come from?
Provieo read the Kimberly-Clark posting and generated it on 2026-10-21. If you paste the same posting yourself you may get a different project, so two applicants don't show up with the same one.
Is Provieo connected to Kimberly-Clark?
No. This is an independent project idea based on a public posting. It does not guarantee an interview.
