About the company: Housessories is an interior lifestyle company engaged in the manufacturing, wholesaling and retailing of premium space solutions. We aim to revolutionize the way people see, use,and buy furniture in Nigeria first, then in West Africa. Our specific offerings include interior design, furniture design, and manufacturing.
Project Description: This year, Housessories adopted a new strategy that involved streamlining our product offerings to just one brand/furniture line, with great results. However, we recently experienced some challenges with adherence to our production processes and supply chain management issues, resulting in less than optimum delivery records and some quality issues. We are looking to take on an intern who could perform a study on manufacturing processes by identifying the flow, bottlenecks, defects, and time study on the production capacity, as well as determine how to improve our supply chain management. The final deliverable would be the intern’s recommendations for altering and improving the efficiency and optimization of production and supply chain.
