Abstract
From my internship at Fastenal, I have been able to learn and apply many skills from my classes into my day-to-day work. In the supply chain department of Fastenal there are many things' planners must keep an eye on to ensure proper and sufficient supply for our customers. Working for a big company means that there are lots of unique parts and plans that need to be constantly reviewed to keep everything accurate. Before starting my project there was no good way of organizing and tracking what improvements need to be made to our parts. Using Excel, Power Query, and Power Bi, I was able to make a visual representation of all the improvements that need to be made to our books of business. These visuals have increased accountability and accuracy in my team's day-to-day work and have helped decrease the number of errors we run into on our parts.
