Special Project - We try to build special projects for the co-op to work on in their last half that would be the top line of their resume. This is done under the leadership of a Commodity Manager. This project really challenges you and allows you to see what you can do. Examples include setting up a rapid prototyping supply base and quoting process, searching for new suppliers, new product tracking, supplier elimination transitions, and running auctions.
