Mathematics | Econometrics internship: modeling efficient resource allocation

Be part of progress: Join ASML’s Customer Support – Customer Supply Chain Management (CS CSCM) Quality Department

Introduction

Within ASML’s Customer Support – Customer Supply Chain Management (CS CSCM) Quality Department, the Tools’ Operations Team plays a key role in safeguarding the performance and safety of service tools used for machine installation, maintenance, and upgrades at customer sites. These tools undergo annual certification at local warehouses worldwide, a process that is essential to maintaining operational excellence. To enhance efficiency and reduce operational costs, the team is initiating a project to optimize resource allocation within this certification process. This internship offers a unique opportunity to contribute to a strategically relevant initiative by developing a mathematical model that supports data-driven decision-making and improves global logistics performance.

Your Assignment

This internship focuses on developing a mathematical model to optimize the certification process for service tools. Key deliverables include:

• Optimizing location selection for certification and inspection activities
• Allocating test tools efficiently across global warehouses
• Designing localized certification setups to reduce transport and downtime
• Identifying additional opportunities for process efficiency
• Documenting methodology and results in a thesis-ready format

This is a (non-thesis) internship for a minimum of 6 months. It requires an investment of 24-32 hours per week, with at least 2 days per week onsite in Veldhoven. The starting date is as soon as possible.
