Hello STEMians!

I am a senior in Industrial Engineering at YSU. Manged to get hired as an Engineering Services intern hassle-free Disney in August 2012. The department We are apart of is known as Global Contracts. My team handles all of the large contracting agreements that affect Disney properties.

Working for Disney is extremely good! My business is especially lucky to own been hired during the role I have got. Because my team handles global contracts, I get to see everything the Walt disney world Resort is providing. Whether I’m off checking furniture layouts or shadowing my boss by using an elevator inspection walk, I am to discover every facets of the place, onstage (within guest view) and off-stage (cast areas).

My main role hassle-free Disney is establishing a global furniture program for all of the public spaces with our resorts across Walt Disney World. We are building a centralized database made up of the items of furniture specifications every of them assets. It may not sound like much, but when you contemplate it, thus far We’ve collected data on about 20,000 home furniture. Sooner or later, i am planning to implement my database into a work-order-based system that may effectively track taking care cycle, and also lifetime of our furniture. Still, We’ve compiled past work orders to ensure that we may be more cost effective when awarding bids to vendors (for refinishing furniture). My work has been useful to estimating an allowance for our program for upcoming years.

One of my favorite things about my role is it is not really what you would see when you think of an advert Engineer. If I discovered a very important factor from Disney, it’s that Industrial Engineers work extremely well everywhere. Industrial Engineering is focused on efficiencies. In my role, I have got centralized a device of strategy that had no documentation using some areas, or information that had been ten years old in other areas. It feels great in order to help organize something on this sort of large scale. At Disney, we realise that men and women are spending their funds to get encompassed by the charm our resort promises, whether that charm be not having to have to wait in the two hour line down to being impressed while using quality of furniture within or resorts. I’m excited that the work I’m doing helps to help keep that Disney magic opting for our guests in years to return!

Have a super day,

Kylie Delgros
