| FROM Kellogg MBA Blog: My internship experience at McKinsey |
 This is part of an ongoing series highlighting MMM summer internship experiences. Name: Ken Yearwood Industry: Management Consulting Company: McKinsey & Company Function: Manufacturing, Operations Practice Location: Chicago, Illinois As a Summer Associate in McKinsey’s Chicago office this summer, I was staffed on a lean manufacturing study for a global pharmaceutical client. I was specifically responsible for improving the performance of five manufacturing lines at the site. Moreover, I was fortunate to have joined a client study where I was able to see three phases of the project:
In many ways, I was able to apply learnings from MMM classes to the latter half of the client study. In particular, I found my operations course and MMM classes like Research-Design-Build to directly correlate to the work I was doing with the client. For instance, one day I was leading a workshop with blue-collar workers and middle managers from the manufacturing floor. The team had mapped out a manufacturing process by placing sticky notes on a whiteboard, and subsequently found ways to rearrange the sticky notes to design a new and improved process with less wasted time. I recall taking a step back and thinking, “how wild is it that I’m applying some of the same people-centered design processes during my internship that I had in class?” The next week, we were on the manufacturing floor attempting the redesigned process and the team was able to perform the changeover process in 40% of the time it had previously taken! Not only was it rewarding to see my recommendations put into action, but it was even more rewarding to see the culture shift; people who previously were resistant to change were excited and vested in the notion of continuous improvement.
