Industries Polykar

Dans le cadre du projet, la stagiaire assistera le responsable des achats et de la logistique dans la configuration du ERP. En effet, le directeur, Maxime, est responsable de trois modules, achats, expéditions et inventaire. Il suscitera l’aide de la stagiaire pour réfléchir à des points d’améliorations. Ils feront également des scénarios de test, créer et documenter du matériel de formation. Ils débattront des meilleurs processus pour l’entreprise via des réunions avec des consultants et d’autres membres de l’équipe et finalement, ils configureront ensemble les rapports et choisirons ce qui pourra être utile à l’avenir en matière de « Business Intelligence ». Toutes ces tâches sont en lien avec l’ERP mais la stagiaire couvrira également les tâches au jours le jour en ce qui a trait aux achats, la négociation avec les partenaires. Elle saisira des données pour les remises sur le volume et les bons de commande à recevoir, elle assistera le responsable pour d’autre tâches tel que les lectures de silos, la gestion des fournisseurs, le budget et les variations, la gestion des stocks et plus encore.

Enersion Tri-Generation System: Applications, Sizing, and Economics

Enersion has developed a novel integrated tri-generation (TG) system that provides electricity, heating, and cooling. In order to guide their business plan, they would like to know which customer application would benefit the most from implementing their TG system – residential, commercial, or industrial. This work will establish a decision-making methodology for the usage of TG in various building applications in select climatic conditions. Furthermore, economic aspects such as cost comparison to conventional utilities and payback will be explored to evaluate further impact on decision-making.

Je ferai du travail au bureau, alors j’aurai l’opportunité d’échanger avec le superviseur du stage régulièrement, alors je pourrai poser mes questions et il pourra m’aider à mieux faire mes tâches. De plus, des réunions avec les autres membres de notre équipe se font environ tous les 2 jours, ce qui aide la communication. Mon superviseur et mes collègues m’ont fait mention que mon superviseur s’assurerait de me montrer ce que j’ai à faire, tout en restant disponible en cas de besoin. Comme il souhaite favoriser l’autonomie, il souhaite s’assurer que je comprenne la base pour, ensuite, me laisser diriger certains projets par moi-même. Comme le département des ressources humaines est composé de 3 anciens stagiaires de l’entreprise, chacun d’entre eux s’occupera de m’apporter de l’aide, lorsque nécessaire. Ces derniers, ainsi que Francis, ont bâti un plan de formation, ainsi qu’une liste des documents références afin de s’assurer que je sois prête à entamer mon stage. Avec mon superviseur, des rencontres se feront de manière hebdomadaire afin de connaître mon point de vue sur les tâches qui me sont confiées et mes appréciations.

SSE MORIN-MARTEL

Le projet s’inscrit dans le contexte de la pandémie où les médias ont dû revoir leur fonctionnement pour effectuer une transition – partielle dans certains cas – vers le télétravail. Puisque la mission de La Presse est d’informer la population des sujets d’intérêt public, il n’était pas question d’arrêter d’aller sur le terrain, et ce, malgré les circonstances. Ainsi, je voudrais observer et évaluer comment les journalistes de La Presse ont composé avec le fait de ne pas travailler ensemble dans la salle de rédaction. Qu’en est-il du sentiment d’appartenance ? La rétroaction de la part des collègues est-elle aussi fréquente ? Qu’en est-il de la qualité de l’information, est-elle touchée par ce nouveau mode de fonctionnement ? Le projet s’intéressera également aux façons développées pour couvrir une pandémie au sein de La Presse. Je chercherai à savoir si des formations particulières ont été données par rapport à la couverture journalistique de la COVID-19. Je questionnerai les journalistes pour savoir si une certaine plateforme de collaboration pour le travail a été mise en place. Si ce n’est pas le cas, je leur demanderai si une telle initiative pourrait leur être bénéfique et comment celle-ci pourrait se déployer.

USask / City of Saskatoon CRM Business Analyst Project

The COVID-19 pandemic has had wide and deep effects on City work and finances. The City has had to alter financial projections and planned projects to adapt to the ever-changing economic landscape due to the pandemic. The City of Saskatoon is looking to implement a fully integrated cloud-based CRM system to support our strategic goal to transform the citizen experience with omni-channel service delivery. This project is expected to commence in 2021. The prospective intern will perform the role of a business analyst/financial analyst within the proposed CRM project. It is anticipated that the intern will lead the financial analysis of the CRM project covering the Cost-Benefit implications of implementing the CRM solution for the City. The scope of this analysis can consider avoided legacy system maintenance cost savings, workforce optimization savings, call deflection savings, and case resolution savings. The prospective intern would also be encouraged/expected to provide an analysis of unquantified benefits and additional use cases for the tool beyond the original scope of the project.

Feasibility Study of Hydrogen Production from Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) by Gasification

In the transition from fossil fuels to the new energy economy, hydrogen is forecasted to play a larger and larger role. The research question addressed by my project is focused on evaluating the economic, technical and environmental implications of producing hydrogen from municipal solid waste (mixed plastics, wood and cardboard waste) in Alberta. At a high level this project will provide me with a solid working understanding of the many factors that are driving both the production, transportation and utilization of hydrogen. The goal of this project is also aligned with the objective of the Transition Accelerator as the partner organization to support Canada’s transition to a net-zero future while solving societal challenges. With a focus on the conversion of Municipal Solid Waste to hydrogen, with carbon capture and storage, my project directly leads to significant societal benefits, from waste reduction to GHG emissions reduction, as well as supporting the drive to net zero and supporting the Canada wide waste strategy on zero plastics. While focused on the Alberta market, the skills, knowledge, collaborations and technology advancements that result from my project have applications domestically and globally, providing me with effectively unlimited opportunities for my future career.
