Samantha's Summer Internship

 Week 11: This week I had my final presentation at corporate in Selinsgrove for the board of directors and some other employees and interns that were also employed at other locations this summer. I think it went well and I had some questions and great feedback in the end, I also got the chance to meet other employees from different locations. The rest of the week i worked in the office, working on orders, RMAs, and I also learned how to do submittals this week which was a new topic i was introduced too. 

  Week 10: This week I focused more on getting my final presentation ready to go, since I will be presenting it on Monday. I practiced with coworkers to get familiar with my slides and what all I need to cover. Wednesday we got to go on a plant tour of Crestline in Mechanicsburg PA. We got to tour the plant and see all of the products that they made. We also got to see the process from pellets to fine dust then to pipe. Seeing how the machines worked to make the pipe and then cool it and write the info on each pipe was also interesting. We also got to see how the machine adds gaskets to the pipe as it is being made the gasket is almost built into the pipe and melted into it. 

 Week 9: This week in the office I worked on learning new areas of the software that is used here at LB. I got access to do two more things this week and started inputting them into the computer to help out some of my coworkers with their work load. That's mainly what I was tasked with this week in the office. I also helped around the office when other employees needed help, I did this when I had downtime or when it was a little slower. I also answered some phone calls from customers this week. 

 Week 8:  This week was a shorter week, we were off Monday and Tuesday for independence day. The rest of the week I just worked on finalizing my final PowerPoint. I want to practice presenting it to the employees that I work with to get feedback before presenting it to the board later this month. I also learned how to do credits and worked on that, orders and quotes, and transfers the rest of this week.
