Special Intern Project:

I was responsible for making improvements to the structure of the Chambersburg Division’s Quality Management System (QMS), so it could better support compliance with the ISO 9001-2018 standard and our own OSI Quality Manual and Level II Procedures. This included reading and learning about the Chambersburg Level III Work Instructions (WIs) to increase my knowledge of the division’s manufacturing processes. Then, using that knowledge, I filed and organized the WIs online on our intranet to support employee accessibility to the documents using the methodology that Coady Barrie, Olympic Steel’s Corporate Quality Assurance Manager, mapped out. I also categorized the WIs into a training matrix organized by process and core job function to support the development of employees and flawless execution. I also created process flow diagrams and internal auditing plans for each of the core processes using the newly organized QMS structure.

Why did you choose to intern for Olympic Steel?

• I wanted to work in a practical engineering environment in order to get real world experience in the engineering industry.
