Ciarán Murphy
Business & Supply Chain Student | Aspiring Operations Intern
Munster Precision Assemblies
Dear Hiring Team,
I am writing to express my interest in the Operations Intern position at Munster Precision Assemblies. As a penultimate-year Bachelor of Business Studies student specialising in Supply Chain and Operations Management at the University of Limerick, I am eager to apply my practical warehouse background and operational analysis skills to support your facility's continuous improvement initiatives and daily workflow management.
During my time as a Warehouse Operations Assistant at Shannon Freight Solutions, I gained direct exposure to fast-paced logistics and inventory control. In this role, I coordinated intake logging and dispatch staging for more than 400 weekly palletised freight units using warehouse tracking software. Working alongside the warehouse supervisor, I conducted weekly cycle counts and inventory reconciliations to help maintain inventory record accuracy above 98%. Additionally, I reorganised packing supply staging areas, which reduced order prep travel distances and cut staging turnaround by 12%.
My academic coursework and project experience have further strengthened my understanding of process analysis and lean methodologies. In my Manufacturing Flow Optimization Project, I modelled bottleneck dynamics for a multi-stage production cell using discrete-event simulation software. By formulating revised buffer capacities and line-balancing proposals, I projected a 14% improvement in theoretical throughput before presenting the findings and visual workflow charts to academic supervisors. Holding a Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt, I am keen to assist your team in identifying process constraints and maintaining reliable operational routines.
I welcome the opportunity to discuss how my academic training and hands-on operational support experience align with the goals of Munster Precision Assemblies. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Yours sincerely,
Ciarán Murphy
