The 15 Summer Projects
Read through the projects below and pick the one that fits you best, because your application letter has to explain why your chosen project is relevant to you.
Project 1: Packaging, Food Waste and Nature ♻️
Help develop BAMA's work on nature risk and make sure as much of the raw produce as possible is preserved for as long as possible. You will get close to BAMA's value chain and focus on securing the right packaging, with the best possible shelf life, that meets future requirements. You will also work on uncovering where waste occurs and defining good measures to reduce negative impact on nature.
Project 2: Consumer Insight and Strategic Growth Opportunities 🛍️
How do we get people to eat more fruit and vegetables? You explore growth opportunities by analysing consumer behaviour, trends and market potential through interviews, desk research, observations and surveys. You then use the insights to point to consumer needs, opportunity areas and new concepts that can help increase consumption.
Project 3: Master Data, AI Monitoring and Data Quality 🤖
Good master data is essential for orders, invoices and reports to be correct in Microsoft Dynamics 365. You will define quality rules and build an AI prototype that automatically monitors the data. The solution catches deviations such as duplicates and incorrect entries before they cause trouble in operations.
Project 4: Plant Science, Product Quality and Professional Structure 🌾
Here you follow a chosen product through the whole season to uncover the root causes of quality deviations. You analyse data and follow up producers out in the field. You also gather experience from specialists to build a practical product handbook for quality consultants.
Project 5: Transport Logistics and Digital Flow 🚛
For fruit and vegetables to reach the whole country, logistics must keep rolling without stopping. As a summer intern, you map today's transport bookings and develop a prototype for a shared digital platform. You work on giving transport planners a full overview of routes, pallets and status in real time.
Project 6: Digitalising Procurement and Contract Management 📝
BAMA has many suppliers and agreements that are currently followed up manually. You will map current practice, find points for improvement and test more digital tools. The goal is to simplify the working day, with everything from automated deadline alerts to electronic signing.
Project 7: Logistics, Driver Solutions and Volume Planning 🚢
Here you take on one of the core challenges of logistics, from overseas imports to the last leg on the road. You will work on developing a self-service driver solution at the terminal and on further developing a solution for long-term volume planning of sea freight. The prototype you build gives a full overview of planned transports, loading locations and capacity.
Project 8: Future Procurement Processes and ERP Automation 🛒
BAMA Sourcing is going to start using Microsoft Dynamics 365. You get responsibility for your own product group and work on mapping work processes to find measures in automation and AI. The goal is to remove manual tasks so that buyers have more time for value-creating work.
Project 9: Financial Management, Automation and Forecasting 📈
At BAMA Storkjøkken, you gain practical experience with financial management, budgets and forecasts. You map manual processes and develop automated tools for accruals and forecasting work. The goal is to build a lasting solution that simplifies the everyday work of the finance team and eliminates errors.
Project 10: Societal Security, Preparedness and Continuity Management 🛡️
How do we ensure fresh food on the table if the power goes out or one of the IT systems fails? You will further develop BAMA's preparedness work by mapping its status against an ISO framework and creating tools for minimum operations. You will also carry out a real continuity exercise linked to the group's risk management.
Project 11: Improving Campaign and Pricing Processes 🏷️
Today, campaigns and prices are managed through manual Excel sheets, which can lead to misunderstandings and a lack of overview. Here you will map current processes towards suppliers and customers and help move them into modern system support. The project suits students with good process and systems understanding who want to replace spreadsheets with structured, digital routines.
Project 12: Cloud Technology, DevOps and Platform Development ☁️
In the BAMA Tek Platform Team, you work hands-on with Azure, Terraform, GitHub and CI/CD. You will automate processes, further develop platform services and build solutions based on Infrastructure as Code. You get to work independently on real problems, with close follow-up from an experienced team, and help develop a modern, secure and automated cloud platform.
Project 13: Supplier Development and Continuous Improvement 🤝
Good supplier collaboration creates value across the whole chain. In this project, you further develop BAMA's framework for supplier follow-up based on continuous improvement. You structure data in the supplier portal and test the follow-up model on real suppliers in Norway and abroad.
Project 14: AI-Assisted Production Planning and Industrial Optimisation ⚙️
BAMA Industri Tranby is exploring in-house development of an AI-assisted production planner. You will develop a prototype that suggests sequence, line choice and staffing based on data and mathematical rules. The solution must adapt quickly to deviations such as machine stoppages or raw material shortages.
Project 15: Sales Analysis, Data Integration and AI Reporting 📊
Good decisions in sales and marketing require a clear overview of data from many sources. You use AI to clean and connect sales and marketing data from several different sources. You then build automated dashboards that make seasonal evaluations far more efficient.
