Supply chains are under pressure due to the increasing volatility of supply and demand, driven by constantly changing social, geopolitical, and economic events. This quickly changing landscape creates unexpected supply chain disruptions in factories, which requires manufacturers to quickly pivot to respond to these changes. Unfortunately, these situations happen much faster than teams can reliably and efficiently plan for. Currently, factory operations teams waste more than 70% of their valuable time piecing together inaccurate and incomplete data to respond to production blockers. Pelico's supply chain operations management platform gives factory teams the agility and resilience to quickly respond to any supply chain disruptions, and act fast to mitigate their impact. Give your teams access to a single source of truth to anticipate bottlenecks, prioritize corrective actions, speed up cross-functional collaboration, and simulate alternative production and repair scenarios. Within 10 weeks of having implemented Pelico, global, market-leading companies like Safran, Collins Aerospace, and Cartier have reduced their parts shortage by 37%, increased their on-time deliveries by 15%, and reduced their MRO cycles by 42%

About Pelico We are creating the factory of the future where disruptions are avoided, processes synchronized and value captured. Our factory operations management platform enables factory teams to be more agile and resilient in a world where supply chain disruptions occur every 16 minutes. Pelico empowers users to identify bottlenecks, avoid problems, and focus on innovation instead of fire-fighting. Since our foundation in 2019, we’ve partnered with industry leaders across aerospace, industrial equipment, and luxury watchmaking, revolutionizing factory operations in over 15 countries. Esteemed clients include Airbus, Safran, Cartier, Daikin, and Eaton.
Our Team With a dynamic team of over 140 professionals across the US and France, Pelico is a melting pot of top-tier talent from Tech, Data Science, and Manufacturing domains. Our collaborative environment fosters innovation and excellence, driving us to solve complex challenges and shape the future of manufacturing. Our work has been recognized by Safran (Digital Transformation Award) and Microsoft (scale-up of the year).
Context Modern manufacturing organizations face increasing volatility: changing demand, supplier delays, capacity constraints, and complex multi-level BOMs make it extremely difficult to plan supply and production in a reliable and agile way. Traditional planning systems often fail to capture real-world uncertainty, resulting in late orders, shortages, and firefighting on the shop floor.
Pelico is building an AI-driven platform that bridges the gap between planning and execution , enabling teams to anticipate problems earlier, simulate scenarios, and orchestrate recovery actions.
Missions Part 1 - Optimization of stock flow and pegging strategies (in a deterministic setting) The first part focuses on improving how available supply is allocated to downstream needs, using optimized pegging and allocation strategies. Today, Pelico relies on a deterministic allocation rule (FIFO); this internship aims to evaluate alternative allocation policies that maximize service level & revenue while minimizing WIP, premature builds, and excess inventory.
You will explore different objective functions and constraints, such as:
Part 2 - Risk assessment and uncertainty modeling from historical data The second part studies how uncertainty can be formally quantified to support more robust decision-making in the future. The goal is to build a risk assessment layer that characterizes plant parts, supply events, or pegging links based on historical behavior, considering volatility in supply lead times and quantities, demand variability, production cycle time uncertainty, and historical shortage patterns.
This Includes
In essence, this part creates the risk intelligence needed to later enhance the optimized policies explored in part 1.
During This Internship, You Will
Expected Outcomes
Success means producing a method that is sound, explainable, and applicable at industrial scale, strong enough to influence Pelico’s roadmap or be integrated into our platform.
Depending on performance and interest, the internship may lead to a full-time offer.
